please use main menu Tools | Plugins instead

BTW: we will need to update documentation, I guess
Comment 3 Kenneth Ganfield 2013-03-14 14:54:13 UTC 
The document referenced by the reporter is for NetBeans IDE 5.5 and does not apply to the IDE version used by the reporter (7.2.1).

UML was removed from the standard distribution in NetBeans IDE and maintenance of the plugin was taken up by the community. Some users have reported success with using the UML plugin in NetBeans IDE 6.8 and 6.9.

Please see the following documents for more information on UML support and alternatives:
