Hi Jeff,

Yes, that is what I finally resorted to. Thanks.

Allan,
You know though that if you have GlassFish v2 installed, you can just register that server with NB 6.8? (Services window, right-click Servers node, click Add Server)

The major problem for many people to upgrade from 6.7 to 6.8, is that 6.8 only comes with GlassFish v3, which is not fully compatible with JavaEE5 applications created for GlassFish v2 (at least I couldn’t take our JavaEE5 EARs and deploy them in GlassFish v3 without changes).

Ok, seams fair. Personally speaking I skipped 6.7 because it seamed to hang to often, running the scanning task.

That was my initial though as well. I found that there are still many people using NetBeans 6.7, so rather than compiling the code against the 6.8 API, I simply compiled the code against the 6.7 API, which made it compatible with 6.7 without any extra code or losing any functionality.

I would be interesting to hear from NetBeans.org, how many people are still using NetBeans 6.7 and older versions. They must have this from users enabling anonymous usage tracking.

Just a question.

Nice idea, but why Netbeans 6.7 now when 6.8 is out?
