Plugins Manager: Settings

You use the Plugins manager to dynamically update IJC from the registered update centers and to manage IJC plugins and modules. You use the Settings tab of the Plugins manager to view and change settings for the registered update centers and to set how often IJC checks the update centers for updates.

You can access this tab by choosing Tools > Plugins from the main menu and clicking the Settings tab in the Plugins manager.

This tab contains the following settings for managing update centers.
