   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.
