I've downloaded a Netbeans plugin from the above URL. It is normally an nbm file, Webkit changes it to a jar file. When trying to install it in Netbeans, I've got an error telling me the file is not readable. So the plugin cannot be installed. When downloading it from Firefox 3.0.6, the file is downloaded as an nbm file and it installs perfectly in Netbeans.
This is unlikely to be a WebKit bug. It's probably related to the .nbm file just being a zip file with a different extension, and the file being served with a application/octet-stream mime type. Which version of Safari do you have installed?

I use Safari version 4.0(4528.1, r41521)
4528.1 is a rather old preview build of Safari 4. You should update to the public beta and see whether you still experience the same problem.

Indeed the problem is solved in the public beta, and consequently also in the nightly webkit. Sorry for the trouble.
