You can distribute a module in one or more
of the following ways:
Contribute to the Plugin Portal. This is the central
location where you can upload your NetBeans modules
so that they may be easily found, all in
the same place. For details, see:
Create your own update center. With your
own update center, you can distribute modules
that are specific to your application, as well
as modules that are not appropriate for distribution
via the Plugin Portal. For
quick updates to your modules or for
making modules available to a smaller
subset of end users, creating your own update
center might be a good idea.
Other. You can simply zip up a module's
sources and transfer them via e-mail or upload them
onto a server. Alternatively,
you can use the IDE to create a binary NBM file, which
you can then transfer via e-mail or upload to a server, instead of
transferring the sources.
