Apache Netbeans 10 CVS plugin not available?

Question

i finally upgraded to Apache Netbeans 10 (from 8.2) and wanted to install the CVS plugin as usual using the menus Tools->Plugins->Available Plugins

However, i cannot seem to find/access the plugin. In Settings i activated the Netbeans 8.2 Plugin Portal, however i still have (after updating) only 31 Available Plugins and 9 Installed.

When i try to open a CVS versioned project, netbeans recognizes this and tries to automatically get CVS - but the download fails.

So, how can i install the CVS Plugin in Apache Netbeans 10?

Answer 1

I worked off the answer above using NetBeans 12.3 and it worked well with the alternate plugin URL:

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.2/uc/final/certified/catalog.xml.gz

Instead of the updates.xml.gz URL in the linked answer.
