NetBeans 6.1 RC1 installation experience
I've been starting using Netbeans 6.0 for my research project for a while but I did not try 6.1 yet until today.
Since my Mondays is scheduled for Sun internship, I decided to try 6.1 RC1 today.
- Upgrade? or not
- I was expecting the installation procedure that would upgrade the current system but it does installing another Netbeans in Netbean folder (FYI, MAC OSX, intel Dual Core).
- I believe the Netbeans team decide to do like this because SAFETY! SAFETY! SAFETY!. I found that alot of relief that my current project coexist in old and new Netbeans systems. Thus I could try out the new systems with confidence. => Good but I hope I could have a choice (control) for installing and upgrading. Some people might prefer since it doesn't take more space in their hard drive.
- Import
- I was really happy the new Netbeans 6.1 RC 1 recognized I do have 6.0 and asked me whether I want to import from the old netbeans.
- I was able to transit seamlessly and safely.
- Registration
- I may not be wrong about this but I did not recall this was when I installed 6.0 long time ago.
- This leads the user for further good information but the website of discount book offer was broken link somehow ( I hope it will be fixed soon )
- Performance
- Startup is much faster than 6.0
- Run & Compilation process also seems faster.
