Description Cannondale 2015-04-18 14:51:28 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_45
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.45-b02

Netbeans 8 Help file does not match application screens / functionality. As an example, a help search for "path mapping" displays 
the first result item titled "Project Properties Window: Run Configuration". On this page, there are references to many fields and an Advanced button that do not exist Run Configuration dialog.

There are many other references to items that may have existed in a previous release but can not be found in NB 8.0.2. i.e. pause button on the debugging toolbar.

In addition, there are many screencasts included in the NB 8 online documentation that show tutorials of previous releases and not the new screen / functionality of NB 8.
