Similiar to bug #204253, but this time no servers are imported. Steps to reproduce: - install NB 6.9 (Build 201006101454) from All bundle - check to install Tomcat during installation - create some Java Web project in NB 6.9 - run NB 7.1 (all bundle "installed" from "OS Independet Zip") - during the start up, select to import settings from previous version of NetBeans (6.9 is offered) - in NB 7.1, create new Java Web project => No server is imported and offered for the project Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201110250600) Java: 1.7.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.1-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.38-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Happens with importing from 6.9.1 as well. Also, If I add server manually in 6.9.1, then it is imported fine to 7.1. When you install servers during NetBeans installation, then they are "registered" in .netbeans/6.9/config/.nbattrs but when you add server manually, it is registered in .netbeans/6.9/config/J2EE/InstalledServers/.nbattrs
*** Bug 204253 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The settings of the servers that come bundled with the installer are not imported. But when you manually add some server the settings are imported. This is the intended behavior. Also, when installing from "Platform-Independent Package", please have in mind that The GlassFish Server Open Source Edition and Apache Tomcat are not available and in order to use the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition and/or Apache Tomcat that are already installed on your machine you have to do it manually (http://netbeans.org/community/releases/71/install.html#install_zip).
Since you marked Bug 204253 as duplicate of this, I'll comment about the bug here. OK, I understand what you mean but how come that GlassFish is imported and Tomcat not (as I wrote in description of 204253)? This is also intended?
No, this is not intended. The description was similar so I assumed you had manually configured GlassFish in some previous stage and this is why it's settings were imported when you installed the OS independent package. I do not know if my assumption is correct though. Can you please verify this? Thank you
