How do I verify a plugin?

If you are one of the NetBeans Plugin Portal Update Center (PPUC) verifiers, you are expected to process incoming verification requests in a timely manner - ideally at least bi-weekly e.g. on weekends. In order to verify a plugin please follow these steps:

1. Verify that plugin in question satisfies Quality Criteria
2. Login to netbeans.org website and go to the NetBeans Plugin Portal
3. Click My Verifications link from the user navigation toolbar
4. Optionally type name of plugin in question to search field and push Search by plugin name button
5. Find appropriate verification request entry
6. Check either Go or No Go option
   
   • In case of No Go decision please provide good enough justification for your decision in the Comment text area, because it will be used for a bug report against the plugin assigned to its owner
7. Click Vote button

Note: Verifiers can change their minds if some serious problem shows up with any plugin in the future so their decision is never final.
