Preview of vesion 5.12

Hi Stan.

I'm running the 5.12 version from the website download page. When I added the plugin source links, it is still not installing anything.

Example. For the "Automation" plugin(and similar for other plugins) the app log says; INFO [org.netbeans.core.startup.NbEvents]: Warning: the module C:\Program Files\Expert Lotto 5\modules\com-expertlotto-automation.jar could not be found, ignoring...

Email me your application log please.

I hope I fixed the additional plugins setup so please give it another shot.

Also please download the dev build zip file again, I had to again make some changes that are not possible to distribute over online update.

Hi Stan. Thank you for fixing the plugin installers.

The plugins are now working in the "DEV" version and the "Release" version of 5.12. However, in the "Release" version, the user will have to manually add the URL's for the "TimMac" and "Experimental" plugins under the "Additional Plugins Updates" tab.

Correct, those are undocumented features so it would be almost impossible to understand how those extra plugins work. Those who find this forum can also find the update center links and the discussions behind the extra plugins.

Does this mean the 'Plugins' feature will no longer be used for community plugins in 5.12? There are many plugins that would remain hidden without the update center info, because searching for the terminology used in some of the plugins can vary a lot from the program documentation.

No, anyone capabable reading through this forum can find those additional UC URLs, add them to their Expert Lotto installation and install the plugins. I just don't want them to be available by default for everybody.
