This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1. Install NetBeans 6.0. Start IDE with fresh userdir and then close it. 2. Install NetBeans 6.1. Start IDE with fresh userdir and then close it. 3. Install NetBeans Dev. Start IDE with fresh userdir. Result: Dialog about importing settings of NetBeans !6.0! appears. Even if userdir for 6.1 exists, "Import Settings" dialog appears for 6.0.
It is more task then defect however. I'll leave it as defect to don't loose it from my radar. Evaluation: Yes, it has to be implemented for NB.next version but it is too early to require it now. It will be implemented later in development process. It is up to modules to define what they want to import. The table for import of setting should be tracked in wiki as it was done for previous (6.1, ...) releases - http://wiki.netbeans.org/NB61SettingsMigration The migration page doesn't exist yet, but the URL will be http://wiki.netbeans.org/NB65SettingsMigration
I enabled import from 6.1 and copied include/exclude patterns from 6.0. It still needs to be confirmed from module owners in http://wiki.netbeans.org/NB65SettingsMigration. http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/8dcd8b6f3742

Please resolve issue 42157 + issue 55647. ... so we could forget those problems forever (they had come up recurrent for each new version of NB IDE).
Import of 6.1 now works with Dev 200806240008 ... but: http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/detail.do?id=70155
Please, submit issue for java/project and possibly attach a project which IDE was opening while it threw the exception.
Issue is already submitted by lhasik: #138584
I tried to find out, which of my projects is the cause of http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/detail.do?id=70155 In my 6.1 IDE I had 14 projects in the projects window, so I had to load all of them by hand. By none of those projects I experienced this error. It only occurs, if I import the complete settings from my 6. installation, which I first updated to the new patch 2. Also I tried to copy one after another of the folders from *\.netbeans\6.1\config\ which were missing in the fresh \.netbeans\dev\config\. But also here the error didn't occur. BTW: playing around with all those possibilities was just big fun due to the enhanced startup time of NB 6.1. :-) I started the dev IDE more tha 20 times.
1 extra thought: My 6.1 installation is a "full" installation, but disabled J2EE, Ruby, SOA, GlassFish and Tomcat packages. There is also 1 UML-Project loaded. My dev installation is only a simple J2SE installation package. So I couldn't open this project by hand. So maybe this is the cause of the error. The UML-Project was listed in the project browser after import from 6.1. ... but after 1..2 minutes it was unloaded automatically. Now I also installed 6.5M1 J2SE package on the new JDK6u7, and imported the settings from 6.1. Here the UML Project was not listed in the project browser, an the error didn't occur.
Now I think, I have it definitely ;-) I've overseen 1 project, which was loaded in the 6.1 IDE, named "ObjectBridge". If requires another project, named "Java-Persistence". The dev build (200806240008) didn't load "ObjectBridge", but "Java-Persistence". After trying to load "ObjectBridge" by hand, I had this error just as well. OK, I will attach this project.
Created attachment 64274 [details] project "ObjectBridge"
Which are the things will be imported? Things that should be imported: . favorites . toolbar shortcuts . opened files . palette Regards
