Why can't I see all the plugins from plugins.netbeans.org inside NetBeans?

Is there a way I can do this? I find it annoying having to download a plugin separately and install into NetBeans when NetBeans comes with a 开发者_如何转开发Plugin Manager...

Example: I'd like to install the Path Tools plugin but have to download it as a zip file despite there being a plugin browser!!

Thanks

Steve

In order for a plugin from the Plugin Portal to be seen in the plugin manager it must pass verification for the version of NetBeans that you are using. The Path Tools plugin has only been verified for version 6.0 and appears to be un-maintained.
