I agree that this might be handy. Fortunately, if you install new version of NetBeans all the settings from the previous version are imported upon your confirmation. In addition to that you can simply copy old NetBeans <userdir>/modules directory and put it to the new user directory. I agree that this might be handy.

This feature is really needed. I use dev builds and portable versions of netbeans. When I download and extract a new version of netbeans, my instance will not find installed plugins. Maybe one or two but these are not enough. I have to download 3rd-party-plugins which I can't download via the plugin manager and I have to compare my old netbeans instance with the new one to find all plugins. It would be very nice and helpful, if we can have a plugin exporter. You can check all or some plugins to export them. And then I can import those exported plugins into an other instance. Voted for this. Regards Chris |
