I think most of the platform applications would do fine with the same userdir. At least I'm using netbeans-dev Snap for quite a while now which uses the same user directory for more than a year now through many NetBeans releases. it just runs fine, just make sure that you can read your old configs. On the platform side I'd not expect big changes, it is pretty stable for years.

The NetBeans IDE doesn't use old settings directories for later versions,
is it advised for a platform application to do the same?

Perhaps change it (the settings dir) every time one uses a new RELEASE of the platform?

I'm able to handle my own changes in the preferences, but I don't know what's going on in the NetBeans (Platform) settings.

How do you handle it in platform apps?
