'Apache Netbeans 10 CVS plugin not available?

i finally upgraded to Apache Netbeans 10 (from 8.2) and wanted to install the CVS plugin as usual using the menus Tools->Plugins->Available Plugins

However, i cannot seem to find/access the plugin. In Settings i activated the Netbeans 8.2 Plugin Portal, however i still have (after updating) only 31 Available Plugins and 9 Installed.

When i try to open a CVS versioned project, netbeans recognizes this and tries to automatically get CVS - but the download fails.

So, how can i install the CVS Plugin in Apache Netbeans 10?

  • Select Tools > Plugins > Settings

  • Add the Update Center which includes the CVS plugin to the Configuration of Update Centers list:

    • Click the Add button to open the Update Customizer Center dialog.

    • In the Name field enter some descriptive value (e.g. Latest Development Build), and in the URL field enter this URL: http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nbms-and-javadoc/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

    • Click OK to close the Update Customizer Center dialog, and return to the Settings tab.

  • For that new entry named Latest Development Build, check its Active checkbox:

    settings

  • Select Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins

  • Enter CVS in the search field and the CVS plugin should be listed:

    installCvsPlugin

  • Check the Install checkbox for the CVS plugin, click the Install button and follow the wizard's instructions.

After that you should be able to use CVS without needing to restart NetBeans:

  • Select Tools > Options > Team > Versioning to configure CVS.
  • Select a project in the Projects panel, right click and select Versioning > Import into CVS Repository to import a project into CVS.

I worked off the answer above using NetBeans 12.3 and it worked well with the alternate plugin URL:

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.2/uc/final/certified/catalog.xml.gz

Instead of the updates.xml.gz URL in the linked answer.

The update center is no longer available. But you can still download the 3 needed plugins from the following links:

http://netbeans.apidesign.org/maven2/org/netbeans/modules/org-netbeans-modules-versioning-system-cvss/RELEASE701/org-netbeans-modules-versioning-system-cvss-RELEASE701.nbm

http://netbeans.apidesign.org/maven2/org/netbeans/api/org-jdesktop-layout/RELEASE802/org-jdesktop-layout-RELEASE802.nbm

http://netbeans.apidesign.org/maven2/org/netbeans/api/org-netbeans-lib-cvsclient/RELEASE712/org-netbeans-lib-cvsclient-RELEASE712.nbm

And install all of them together : Select Tools > Plugins > Downloaded > Add plugins
