Programming Languages/frameworks support
A plugin can be considered complete when it provides support for:
- code completion
- jump to definition, peek definition, find all references, symbol search
- types and documentation on hover
- code formatting
- refactoring (e.g. rename, move)
- error squiggles and apply suggestions from errors
- snippets
- build tasks

As part of migration to Apache a new plugin portal has been created. For installation of plugins associated with older versions of netbeans, see Where to download plugins for NetBeans 10.0 and earlier.
As part of the migration, some of the source for community plugins previously hosted in Oracle's HG repository have been migrated to git where possible, while others were not fully migrated due to licensing or limited support for given plugin. Some earlier iterations of these are available at the following locations
Jaroslav Tulach is hosting a clone of the Mercurial repositories at http://source.apidesign.org/hg/netbeans/
Emilian Bold’s conversion of Mercurial to git is available at https://github.com/emilianbold/netbeans-releases
For publication details for new plug-ins, see How to get plugin on Plugin Portal Update Center
Signing and Sharing a Plugin
Once a plugin has been created, it can be shared with the community through the Apache NetBeans Plugin Portal, and it is also accessible from the Apache NetBeans IDE by choosing Tools ➤ Plugins. In order to share the plugin, it must be signed with a certificate, either self-signed or verified by a certificate authority (CA). More information on how to sign a plugin can be found here.
To generate a signed NBM:mvn clean package nbm:nbm -Dkeystorepass=your-password
Once the NBM has been signed and packaged, it is ready to be loaded into the plugin portal:
- Upload the plugin to Maven Central using the notes provided by Sonatype.
- Create Google account if you do not already have one.
- Authenticate to the Apache NetBeans Plugin Portal.
- Click the “Add Plugin” button within the main menu.
- Provide the pertinent information (
groupIdandartifactIdvalues) for your plugin and click the Add Plugin button. The two values are contained inmaven-metadata.xmlfile. All other information should be added in automatically. It is a good practice to add a homepage and thumbnail for your plugin. Click on Save Plugin. - Select the appropriate Apache NetBeans version for your plugin by choosing an appropriate version within the “My Plugins” page, which will open the “Version Management” page.
- Select the appropriate compatible Apache NetBeans version, provide optional release information, and choose Save Plugin Version.
- If you believe the plugin meets quality standards for the Plugin Portal, you can select to have your plugin verified and approved for publication by choosing the Request Verification button.
