Hi Dennis, In regards to deciding whether to add a plug-in or do a complete re- install, I personally compare the time it will take to do the complete reinstall against my desire to have a "clean", up-to-date copy of the application; meaning if I have the time I always prefer a full, fresh installation of the most recent full release. This is supposing that the target computer is not a critical machine.
As far as the installation of plug-ins in the Netbeans IDE goes, I've only once experienced a problem with the order of the updates being installed once (in two years of use). Normally when adding a plug-in the dependencies will be indicated before installation and installed in the correct order. As Netbeans released a new package recently (6.5.1) I'd suggest downloading the "All" package and installing that after removing your current Netbeans installation. In my experience the functionalities not in use don't get in my way, and having them hanging around would be a good head start if I did ever need them for any reason. Hope this helped. Have a good day, Geoff --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" group.
