How do I enable "JAX-RPC Web Services" plugin in NetBeans 8.0

Question

I'm trying to build a WS client from an RPC (allegedly) encoded WSDL service at

https://www.fbo.gov/ws/fbo_api.php?wsdl

I'm using right click on Web Service Project, create New Web Service Client.

The wsdl is rpc encoded. To process this wsdl install the "JAX-RPC Web Services" plugin.

I tried manually installing the following plugins

modules/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpc16.nbm
modules/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpckit.nbm
modules/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpc.nbm
modules/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-registry.nbm

But still no dice.

Actually, JAX-RPC is an old version of SOAP and which is overtaken by JAX-WS. That is why netbeans does not provide this plugin in default version.

You can install the plugin by adding another plugin directory.

Go to Tools -> plugins -> Settings -> Add and set URL as http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

After adding this URL you will be able to see JAX-RPC plugin under plugin section and install that.
