Description Jiri Kovalsky 2011-10-27 14:26:14 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201110250600)
Java: 1.6.0_27; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.2-b06
System: Linux version 2.6.35-22-generic running on i386; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb)
User directory: /home/cesilko/.netbeans/dev
Cache directory: /home/cesilko/.netbeans/dev/var/cache

Description:
============
After import of settings from NetBeans 6.9 into 7.1 debugger does not open views that were left opened in the previous version. This should be preserved in my opinion.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Launch NetBeans 6.9 and invoke "Window > Debugging > Watches" and "Window > Debugging > Breakpoints" from main menu.
2. Watches and Breakpoints views get opened into the Output window.
3. Exit the IDE and launch NetBeans 7.1 with empty userdir.
4. Confirm that you want to import settings from NetBeans 6.9.
5. Once IDE is started there will be only Tasks window opened and Watches and Breakpoints views will be closed.

BTW, it does not work from 7.0 either.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2012-10-22 14:31:29 UTC 
I've reproduced it from 7.2 to 7.3 beta as well.
Not only debugger windows, but no opened windows at all were imported for me.
It's likely because "config/Windows2Local" is not in netbeans.import file.
Moving to Window system to decide whether this is as designed, or not.

No window layout settings are being imported from previous releases.
