Hi Roberto,

it's been a while since you reported this issue but I wanted to let you
know this is actually a bug in libnb-platform18-java. You can already
disable automatic update checks when you click on Tools->Plugins->
Settings and then change the Check Interval option to "Never". I may
change the default in libnb-platform18-java in a future update.

Regards,

Markus
