On starting NetBeans 6.0 M9 I was asked, if I want to import the settings of NetBeans 5.5. Then I got Reference Problems: "junit" library could not be found. In Libraray Manager JUnit classpath "nbinst/modules/ext/junit-3.8.1.jar" is not valid.
Also Favorites were not imported.
Also settings for NewClass template are not imported. Here: field: author
Can you try to reproduce this bug with 6.0 M10 or, better, with Beta 1?
The system name of the JUnit library ("junit") is intentionally unchanged in NB 6.0, so there should be no issue with this. I tried to reproduce this reported problem: on Windows XP, I tried to open a project that I previously created in NB 5.5.1. NetBeans successfully opened it and there were no reference problems with the JUnit library. I noticed a reference problem with library "swing-layout" instead. Because you report a reference problem with the JUnit library: Is it still a problem? If not, how did you resolve it? Answers to these questions might shed some light on the cause of the reported problem (and thus help fixing it).
1.) I never installed 5.5.1, and I didn't import settings from 5.5.1, but from 5.5. Maybe this makes it different. Is 5.5.1 using junit-3.8.2.jar by default? NB 5.5 uses junit-3.8.1.jar by default! 2.) I didn't have to _open_ a project to see the reference problem, it was just indicated by the concerning badge and colour in the project's window. 3.) I didn't install beta 1, but beta 2. I also didn't import settings, as it is not possible to do this from 6.0 xx --> 6.0 yy (see Issues 60750 42157 ...). Instead I copied the user configs to .netbeans\6.0beta2\config, so I can't say, if the problem is pending in beta 1/2.
What's about the missing import of Favorites and settings for NewClass template? Should I rename summary to "settings are imported badly"?
> If not, how did you resolve it? Sorry that I forgot this point last post. :-( I have corrected the JUnit classpath "nbinst/modules/ext/junit-3.8.1.jar" to "nbinst/modules/ext/junit-3.8.2.jar" by hand.
Can you still reproduce this issue? If not I am going to close it.
1.) I suppose, the issue still occurs, if importing settings from 5.5 to 6.0, as AKAIK there was nothing done about this. I don't have 5.5 installed anymore. 2.) I have no idea, if importing from 5.5 to 6.1 or 6.5 works properly, but maybe same issue as for 6.0. 3.) I also suppose, that import of author from "Advanced Options": Editing->Java Sources->Strings Table: "USER=Mr Unknown" in 5.5 to Tools->Template Manager->User configuration Properties in 6.0, 6.1, 6.5 still don't work. 4.) Same to Favourites.
This should be junit issue only. Marian, is there anything that can be done on junit side for 6.5 now?
There is nothing that could be done for NB 6.5 FCS at the moment, of course. Maybe something could be done for Patch 2 of NB 6.5.
Junit settings import from 6.5 to 6.7 in particular is not causing any problems. I'm afraid that import of 5.5 Junit settings is out of scope by this moment. Closing as Will Not Fix.
