    Description

      Right now it is possible to publish plugins on Maven Central which do not have all the required attributes in their manifests like OpenIDE-Module-Name which then breaks generation of module catalog for the whole update center. In order to prevent showstoppers like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4948 it would be good if Plugin Portal checks Info/info.xml file and verifies if that attribute is available. If not, corresponding plugin version would not have Request verification button enabled with a link to a Confluence page explaining why and how to fix it.

      In addition to that it would be great if Plugin Portal would open a popup window with standard output of the module catalog generation Ant task. This will streamline finding the root cause of the UC generation problems via the browser in the future.
