Known NetBeans Issues

• Java CAPS 6 is tested and certified to work with NetBeans plugins that are installed by the Java CAPS Installer. Installing any other NetBeans plugins or plugin updates to your NetBeans IDE can cause compatibility issues. This recommendation does not apply to plugins or updates that you get from Java CAPS Support.

  When starting NetBeans IDE, you may be prompted to install updates for the third-party plugins in your IDE. Do not install them. To avoid being prompted in the future, please follow the instructions below:

  1. On the NetBeans IDE, click Tools and then select Plugins.

  2. In the Plugins window, select the Settings tab.

  3. Select only CAPS Repository Update Center and deselect any other Update Centers.

  4. Click Close to save your changes and close the Plugins window.

  If you want to use other NetBeans plugins, backup the .netbeans directory, which can be found in the top level Java CAPS installation director. Alternatively, use a separate NetBeans installation to try other plugins that are not included with Java CAPS. If you need to restore a backed up .netbeans directory, make sure that your NetBeans IDE is not running. Then remove the current .netbeans directory and replace it with the backed up directory.
