Description esmithbss 2009-08-01 05:31:35 UTC 
I just downloaded 6.7.1 and installed it without uninstalling 6.7 or the 6.7 plugins.

During installation, no errors were reported; however, during first launch, a window identifying 4 separate plugins
which could not be loaded was displayed.

Following first launch, I looked at the IDE log and found a number of errors for items which couldn't be corrected. (See
attached IDE log for more detail)

The visualweb cluster was installed in Apps/Netbeans-6.7. Then when you installed 6.7.1 it is missing in
Apps/Netbeans-6.7.1. You have to install it again from Tools>Plugins.
If you used Tools>Plugins>Updates in 6.7, then only new plugins were uploaded and everything worked smoothly.

If this is the case, then I believe this needs to be bumped to the installer team as an enhancement request to display a
message during installation that the existing configuration is incompatible, or at least that the XXX modules will need
to be re-installed.

As it stands, displaying an error after a successful installation makes it look to the user like something is screwed up
on their machine or with the installation and not that a plugin needs to be re-installed.

I don't know. But definitely not an issue in category import settings.

Version to old. Try 8.2. Resolving as invalid.
