Description giorgio42 2009-03-31 17:43:17 UTC
[ BUILD # : 090330 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]


After importing settings from 6.5 the list shown in Tools ->
Variables is empty, although two variables have been defined in 6.5.

Because of this almost all open projects are tagged as having
unresolved references ("REPOSITORY variable is missing").
Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2009-04-02 11:15:10 UTC
Jesse, take this one.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2009-04-02 17:59:31 UTC
Was not a P2 - simple workarounds: redefine the variables, if only one or two; copy var.* properties from old
$userdir/build.properties, if many.

Will now be imported so long as you select the item "Libraries & Variables" to import. core-main #109af999ac77

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200904030200* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/109af999ac77
User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org>
Log: #161616: import build.properties since it persists Tools > Variables customizations.
