Description Petr Jiricka 2012-07-13 08:18:10 UTC 
Currently, in order to install the NetBeans Chrome plugin, the user has to enable experimental APIs in Chrome via chrome://flags/. This is not acceptable for the final product, needs to be addressed before the release.
Comment 1 Tomas Mysik 2012-07-13 08:50:49 UTC 
Agreed.
Comment 2 Jan Stola 2012-08-16 16:08:14 UTC 
It has been decided to drop the infobar because the infobar support doesn't seem to be ready yet in Chrome. I have disabled the infobar in our extension and removed the request for "experimental" permission. Hence, it is no longer needed to enable experimenal APIs in Chrome to install the extension.
