## About the General Update Center

See Also

The general update center, nbextras.org, is an unofficial update center for NetBeans IDE. It is unofficial in the sense that this server is neither attached to nor endorsed by by the NetBeans open source project.

- Since the general update center is unofficial, and operated by volunteers, there is no guarantee that it will exist continuously and forever. At the time of writing, the general update center existed and functioned as described below.

nbextras.org is not preconfigured in the IDE—to get new modules and updates from the IDE, the user has to configure the IDE manually.

This server also has a website. New modules added to the update center are announced by the gatekeepers, a group of volunteers from the NetBeans user community. Others can provide feedback, appraisals, and critcism about those modules by adding their comments to the news entry on nbextras.org.
