Introduction
This module enables highlighting of occurrences of JDK5 Boxing, Unboxing and Varargs in the Java Editor. The JDK5 compiler silently applies the Boxing and Unboxing of primitive types to and from their reference type counter parts. In case of Unboxing a NullPointerException can be thrown if the reference type instance was null.
The highlight colors can be configured using Tools:Options:Miscellaneous:Highlight Boxing Unboxing Varargs tab.
TODO: Convert Actions into Tools:Options. Other possibility is to move the actions to the individual editor's toolbar.
Jan Lahoda contributed to this module. Thanks Jan.

About: I don't see this module in "Available Plugins"
RE: I don't see this module in "Available Plugins"
Oleg,
To the best of my knowledge - the Plugin Portal Update Center itself is not configured in default update centres as the plugins here are not tested by NetBeans but contributed by community members.
You can install the update center for Plugin Portal using:
Plugin Portal Update Center module
CAUTION: There are just too many plugins here here and the list will be very big.

Sandip,
Why I don't see this module in a list of available plugins? I could downloaded but I cannot install it though NetBeans Update.
Thanks,
Oleg
