Publish Plug-ins Painlessly! (Part 3)

Another NetBeans Update Center has hit the airwaves! (Or should that be webwaves? Or maybe "has hit the airwaves" should be replaced by "has gone live".) Sandip Chitale's plug-in modules were first made available in the netbeans.org interview "Meet a NetBeans Module Writer: Sandip Chitale". However, now they are also available via his Update Center. All you need to do is register the following URL as described in "Publish Plug-ins Painlessly! (Part 1)":

Then, in the Update Center wizard, you'll be able to pull Sandip's plug-in modules from his Update Center:

What's even better is that Sandip has started blogging! And what's even better than that is that I happen to know that he'll soon be announcing a few more plug-in modules... and making them available in his Update Center. I've had the chance of playing a bit with his new plug-in modules already and, honestly, I'm willing to bet that every single NetBeans user (in the universe) will find them useful... So, keep checking his blog for an announcement in the next few days...
