Description Joachim Fuchs 2010-06-24 10:53:38 UTC 
NPE occurs when NB copies the settings from the previous version. No dialog or message, only the stacktrace in the logfile:

Comment 1 Joachim Fuchs 2010-06-24 10:57:50 UTC 
I tried it three times with the same result. When I looked into the config directory there are directories and files but I didn't check wether they are complete. 

After starting 6.9 without importing the settings everything worked fine. From now on the import settings dialog dows not come up.
Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2010-06-24 11:44:27 UTC 
Thanks for report. It's a known problem, traced as issue 186867. Already fixed in the next release and also part of upcoming patch of NetBeans 6.9.
