Description

This issue is about how to deal with installation of plugins with multiple plugins and/or multiple different plugins involved in the installation.

For example, with 12.3-beta3, when attempting to install nb-javac plugin, on the License dialog, it gives a pulldown combo box with 3 plugins included in the pull down but only one of the items selected shown,

(1) nb-javac API [2.4]
(2) nb-javac Impl [2.4]
(3) The nb-javac Java editing support library [2.0]

Recommend changing the Licenses GUI to

(1) Provide a list of all applicable licenses for each plugin involved

(2) Allow review each of the applicable licenses as needed

(3) Acceptance for all licenses involved

(4) Optionally allow acceptance of license one at a time
