See attachment. I installed NB 6.0.1 having NB 6.0 installed. After uninstalling recent NB 6.0 the link would be unvalid. Also I'm wondering that NB 6.0.1 uses .netbeans\6.0\ instead of .netbeans\6.0.1\
Created attachment 58029 [details] Wrong link to NB 6.0
Attention: Wondering about netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/6.0" ... is not mobility component. ;-)
... and not installer, anyway. See also http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NB601BrandingChecklist
Thanks for the nice link. -Ulf
snip from the NB601BrandingChecklist table: Default user dir ide/launcher/netbeans.conf x no change since 6.0: .netbeans/6.0 Ulf, the userdirs for 6.0 and 6.0.1 are same. It was marketing decision. (Anyway - good question... I was surprised as well)
Hi Lukas, I don't understand, why this issue was marked INVALID. IMHO it is not correct, that NB 6.0.1 links to "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0\mobility8\WTK2.5.2". NB 6.0.1 should link to "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\mobility8\WTK2.5.2".
I'll describe the scenario 1, you have 6.0 IDE with its userdir (netbeans\6.0). It uses the default WTK2.5.2 platform that is in the 6.0 install dir. 2, you installed the 6.0.1 3, uninstalling 6.0 will remove also the WTK but the platform description is still in the userdir that is being shared by 6.0 and 6.0.1 4, the platform is invalid because you removed it (together with the whole IDE) The result is correct. Missing platform directory == wrong platform. There is a simple workaround. Remove the "corrupted" WTK platform and restart the IDE. If there is missing the default platform the IDE will add it automatically. But it cannot replace the existing platform definition automatically even if the platform is wrong. It's up to you. Resolving issue 85263 would help in this case.
OK, there is a god reason not to chance values in the userdir automatically. As a result of this issue it should not be appropriate, to install 6.0.1 if 6.0 is just installed. It should be better to update 6.0 via the update center. ... but for me it was not possible because of issue 128848, so I tried to work around by installing 6.0.1. So now I have modules java[1.0.2] and IDE platform[1.2.1] by NB 6.0.1, but I can't update to java[1.0.3] and IDE platform[1.2.2] for the same reason, as issue 128848 is only resolved for NB 6.1. > Remove the "corrupted" WTK platform I think, you mean: Remove the "corrupted" WTK platform _description_ (in the userdir) ;-) > Resolving issue 85263 would help in this case. Yes, it should be resolved *soon*.
