Messagebox "Error: Unable to connect the Update Center" appears on "Next" in Update Center Wizzard, when "NetBeans Update Center Beta" is selected and "NetBeans Update Center" is unselected.
Are you sure that you are really using NB4.2? Because for NB 4.2 we have active only "Development Update Center". There shouldn't be visible "NetBeans Update Center Beta" in Update Center Wizard at all.
In NetBeans IDE 200506211800 Update Center Wizard I have: - NetBeans Update Center - NetBeans Update Center Beta - Third-party Update Center Because of Issue 60750 I have copied .netbeans\4.1\config to .netbeans\dev\config In install dir I find: C:\Program Files\Java\netbeans-4.2dev\nb4.1
I don't think this is valid scenario to copy settings from 4.1 to dev, but reassigning to Autoupdate module for evaluation anyway. - NetBeans Update Center Beta - Third-party Update Center are not enabled for nb4.2 yet, so it can't connect there.
It's not supported to links NB4.1 Update Centers from Dev builds, can be danger to mix updates from NB4.1 base and NB4.2. The internal version of Autoupdate client avoids this, it's increased for each release (beta, ea etc. included). It's the reason why you cannot use these Update Centers. If do you insist to use them then you can replace {$netbeans.autoupdate.version} by 1.10 in corresponding URLs by your risk. Closed as INVALID.
So how can I have a valid NetBeans IDE 4.2 dev QBuild and import my settings of NB 4.1 if Issue 60750 is not resolved ? I can't understand, why you close this issue, because IMHO I did nothing iregular. See comment of jtulach in Issue 51033: "You can either copy the settings by hand or directly point the IDE to your userdir of choice by using --userdir parameter." Regards, Ulf
The list of Update Centers is not a subject of import settings for reasons of avoid to mix updates from NB4.1 base and NB4.2
Where can I find {$netbeans.autoupdate.version}, to control if it's correct ? I never changed this value, so how can it be, that I have the wrong Update Centers in the list of the Update Center Wizard ?
Thanks for resolving Issue 60750. I will try it if _this_ Issue is resolved, or next QBuild comes up.
Update Centers are not subject of import settings among versions, for reasons what has been explained above. Btw: The value of {$netbeans.autoupdate.version} is declared in class autoupdate/org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.XMLAutoupdateType.
