1. Install NetBeans 6.1 and NetBeans 6.5. 2. Start NetBeans 6.1. Userdir for it is created. 3. Start NetBeans 6.5 and reject import of settings. New file Services/org-netbeans-modules-db-explorer-DatabaseOption.settings is created and spec for db module is: <module name="org.netbeans.modules.db/1" spec="1.28.0.28"/>. 4. Remove userdir for NetBeans 6.5, start it again and confirm import of settings. Result: Old file Services/org-netbeans-modules-db-explorer-DatabaseOption.settings is imported and spec for db module is: <module name="org.netbeans.modules.db/1" spec="1.25.1.5"/>. But it is NetBeans 6.5 and spec for db module is new and has different number: "1.28.0.28".
the import of settings just copies the file from old userdir into new one. No more logic. It is up to the module what happens with the imported setting. reassigning to the module owner
What is the user-visible problem exactly?
I think there is no user-visible problem, just spec for db module is wrong, nothing more. :)
The spec is not wrong. When you import the settings file from 6.1, you get the old file, which was created in and older (6.1) version of the DB Explorer.
