Description pmaselkowski 2016-10-19 08:12:31 UTC 
Currently when installing newer version of NetBeans it (usually) import installed plugins from older version. 

However it does not set "Active" state of plugins (nor does uninstall any).
Also it is impossible to install same set of plugins as in nightly to stable version etc..

Summary:

* Allow manual migration of plugins like it is with options
* Disable plugins which are disabled in imported list


I guess that uninstalling would not be feasible, as different versions could have different basic plugins set.
