[010730_1] If you create breakpoints in boston and then import settings from this build to pilsen, the breakpoints won't be deserialized in pilsen. It causes problems for other teams that depends on debugger (JSP debugging). If settings from Boston IE are imported the exceptions are thrown during startup (attached).

This bug is caused by changes in inheritance hierarchy of debugger's classes. Also distribution of classes within packages has been changesd since Boston (e.g. AbstractDebugger has been in subpackage 'support', now it is not). The only way to fix this bug is to modify NetBeans' object input stream for loading settings (NbObjectInputStream) or to write a special method 'readExternal' for reading the old options. This method would have to be almost precise duplicate of the SystemOption's 'readExternal'. Neither of these is a good solution.
Wontfix -> Closed.
