Hi Hervé

I haven't been doing a lot of things with Archi or your plugin at the moment, other then keeping current with the latest versions of both.

When I click on the Check For Update button in the Settings of the Database Plugin, a message thrown:

Did not find any org.archicontribs.database JAR file.

Something else I noticed is that the download from GitHub has "*.archicontribs" as the extension, where the Archi Plugin Manager by default expects a "*.archiplugin" or "*.zip".

I upgraded without any issues from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 (on MacOS Catalina) using the Manage Plug-Ins of Archi, but perhaps this information is useful for you.

Thank you for all the work.

Best regards

Hi Geoffrey,

Regarding the ".archicontribs" extension, you might have been very quick because I realised my mistake and renamed the extension 3 minutes after uploading the plugin. The correct extension for Archi 4.5 is ".zip" and for Archi 4.6 is ".archiplugin". This extension is effectively made to ease the use of Archi's plugin management that I use myself.

Regarding your error message when you click on the "check for update" button, could you please switch the plugin's logger level to "trace" and open a new issue entry on GitHub with the extract of the generated log file that includes the Java exception ?

Thanks and regards
Hervé
