Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Complaint: Plugin Mirror Sites

[Eric B. <el...@gm...>]

Thanks Kazutoshi,
     Personally I'm using jEdit 5.1.0, but I see the most problems when
releasing new plugins which happens on whatever the latest major version
that matches the plugin's requirements.

As an example: This morning (using 5.1.0), I went to update all my plugins
and set the download mirror to the Plugin Central Default. Plugin manager
just sits there with "Loading..." in the middle of the PM window.
