i am pretty sure the local file history is imported if you choose so on first launch. (I just tested it and it seems to be the case) Migrating the code index is risky since it could cause problems. NB will also reset the java index if the nb-javac version changes so there would not be much gained. Other languages editors might have similar constrains. Migrating the maven index so far would likely cause incompatibilities if the lucene version changed between releases, and it would reset automatically if the index can't be loaded. NB 19 is the first version which will ship with lucene codecs for backwards compatibility (#5931) which would allow to read old index versions. Moving the index is not implemented yet since the index itself is now more compact - so we do want a reset there, but it is something we discussed before and could be considered in future. The index extraction is now faster, can be filtered (#5922) and can run multi-threaded, so it might not be a problem anymore. Opening files which were opened in the last NB version might be unfortunately not straight forward to implement, due to the way UI persistence is implemented. (Projects should automatically open though). But I agree this would be nice - I remember looking at this in past but got distracted by other things. In general: importing settings from older versions is fairly risky and is already causing problems (#6094, ...). This has to be carefully considered if it is worth the fallout. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
