How to install Jira Plugin on Netbeans without access to the internet

Question

I am planning to install Jira plug-in for Netbeasns 6.7.1 on a set of workstations. Unfortunately, these workstations are not connected to internet, therefore I cannot use the Netbean’s plugin manager. Is it possible to get the plug-in from the internet and install them manually on the mentioned workstations.

Answer 1

Inside my NetBeans on OSX, I can accomplish this by going to Tools > Plugins and then in the dialog box that comes up, select the Downloaded tab.

At the top, there's a button called Add Plugins... which pops open a File Chooser dialog box. You'll need to have the .nbm file already downloaded (such as onto a thumb drive, or somewhere else that's accessible on the system you want to install the plugin on), navigate to that directory and select it. Then it should install for you.
