by the way, another way to install the plugins is doing it manually (mentioned by the original poster as something that was already attempted). at the time of writing this, the NetBeans plugin/module files (*.nbm) can be downloaded from this location.

this is also applicable to Apache NetBeans 9. (in fact, I tried this on NetBeans 9 and hope this works on 8.1/8.2 too). the needed modules are mentioned by the original poster, and in this here post from stackoverflow (the location of netbeans repository seems to change all the time) - myself, I downloaded all the org-netbeans-modules-websvc-*.nbm files, just to be on the safe side.

Netbeans 9 loads properly. one more thing - i was dealing with a project made with netbeans 6.8 - i had to modify a line in project.properties (wscompile.classpath), as pointed out in this post thanx.
