The NetBeans community asked for more frequent updates, and we're responding with a steady flow of minor patches between major releases. The timing of the patches and the number of fixes will vary, but we'll do our best to keep up the pace with solid updates that are valuable to the community.

The update is easy to install when NetBeans 6.0 is running. Just click on the globe in the status bar or go to Tools -> Plugins -> Updates tab. Then click the "Reload Catalog" button and follow the installation instructions.

Sometimes it is desirable to download nbms offline. As an example usecase, one may wish to update an IDE that is installed on a system without an internet connection (possibly set up that way for security reasons). In such cases, the updates can be obtained offline using a system that does have an internet connection; and the updates then copied over to and applied offline on a system without internet access.
