Why a Localization Development Update Center?

The number of communities localizing NetBeans is growing. More and more people are interested in translating their favorite IDE into their native language. Until now, developers contributed translations but could not see the fruit of their work unless they did a complicated local build. Community builds took months to implement and make available for testing and reviewing their work. In order to simplify and facilitate this process, Sun is offering to centralize the effort by creating a new Update Center (UC): the Localization Development UC. From now on, communities will be able to update their IDE with localization packages based on the latest status of the localization repository.
