Upgrading to 6

The process of upgrading to Release 6 is new and is different from the previous upgrading process. Beginning with Release 6, you no longer perform an in-place installation. Instead, install Java CAPS 6 in a new directory, and then import your Projects from previous releases.

When upgrading from previous releases of Java CAPS to release 6:

• Install Java CAPS in a new directory.

• Export your Projects and Environments from the earlier release of Java CAPS

• Import your Projects and Environments into release 6 using the NetBeans IDE Update Center

For instructions on how to complete a successful upgrade see Upgrading to Java CAPS 6.
