I tried upgrade from release 3.2 to dev build 200109120100. All java editor options were deserialized correctly, except: all fonts&colors beginning with java- (as Issue #15122) indent engine setting in Java Editor. In console, while starting, are printed texts like: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!class org.netbeans.modules.editor.options.FontsColorsMIMEProcessor type file haven't been found in folder:org.openide.loaders.DataFolder@43e3fb[Editors/text/plain] Message like this is also printed when trying to get indent engine.
Created attachment 2516 [details] Whole IDE log.
Sorry, I forgot, my 3.2 build is 98 (so in real 3.2.1).
COmpatibility issue.
The problem: Creation of new FileObject of XML type FileObject fileObject = folder.getPrimaryFile().createData("fileName", "xml"); and following DataObject dobj = DataObject.find(fileObject); will bring the following results in accordance with the importing OR not importing settings from NB 3.2.1: 1) If you don't import settings: created fileObject:Editors/text/x-properties/macros.xml finded DO:org.openide.loaders.XMLDataObject@ab67f[Editors/text/x-properties/m acros.xml] That is right. 2) If you import settings from NB 3.2.1 via startup parameter -user <path> created fileObject:Editors/text/x-properties/macros.xml finded DO:org.apache.tools.ant.module.loader.AntProjectDataObject@31a9a8[Edit ors/text/x-properties/macros.xml] And that's bad. *.xml file should be treated as XMLDataObject. That's why next creation of editor settings XML file crashes. Although all options are deserialized correctly, they aren't stored in XML files. It results that in the next IDE session all settings will be lost. Problem with java- is already solved. Because of these facts I will close this bug as WONTFIX. It is the problem of some other module, I am not sure which. Maybe openide or core. I am going to check if the bug is already entered in Issuezilla ...
I have entered an issue http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=15547
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
