This is a new release from the NetBeans people. It fixes a bunch of bugs, but doesn't really provide new functionality. Upgrading to a new NetBeans does not carry over the globally-installed modules from the previous release. This is maybe a weakness of the ebuild itself. If you were interested, I could write/test an ebuild that would attempt to carry over the installed modules.
Created attachment 7539 [details] Ebuild for NetBeans (v3.4.1) Does not handle migration of installed modules.
thanks. updated portage to 3.4.1. it sounds like your idea to create a better ebuild that saves a users global netbeans module set is a good idea. if you develop such a thing, create a new bug report so that we may add it to portage. matt
