The NetBeans plugins.netbeans.org site has been down for another weekend and
has been down again today. This isn’t ideal as we like the convenience the official plugin center affords in our
update process. However, this blocks installs and updates of our plugin most of which originate from NetBeans.
As a workaround we decided to relaunch our own update center which we will manually update with each plugin
to allow you to install the plugin even when NetBeans is down. The URL for this update center is
https://www.codenameone.com/files/netbeans/updates.xml
Setting Up The New Update Center
Figure 1. Select Tools → Plugins in the menu
Figure 2. Select the Settings tab and click Add
Figure 3. Type in Codename One as the name and enter the update center URL https://www.codenameone.com/files/netbeans/updates.xml
Figure 4. You can now proceed to install Codename One just like in the getting started video
Should I Use This or The Update Center?
We prefer you use the update center from NetBeans. We think having one official source for plugins is convenient
and the fact that the install process is simpler (just type codename) is a huge plus.

The latest version of the plugin is 4.0. Codename One Settings includes its own update system under Basic -> Update Client Libs.

Try running this from command line to see if there are errors printed there when you try to update. Are you running possibly as a user without administrator privilege?
To do this do something such as:
java -jar path-to-your-user-directory.codenameoneguibuilder.jar -settings path-to-cn1-projectcodenameone_settings.proper…

It should popup another dialog when downloading the update. Your image is cropped so I can’t see the version of Codename One Settings. Its version should be 4.2. If it isn’t that’s the problem.

linnet maruve says:

Shai Almog says:
The plugin version is 4.0. The version of Codename One Settings should update after you do an update client libs to 4.2.
