I don't think there could be a generic migration guide that covers everything, but it would be best to start by looking at what's new in terms of APIs in each release since 8.2:
https://bits.netbeans.org/9.0/javadoc/apichanges.html https://bits.netbeans.org/10.0/javadoc/apichanges.html https://bits.netbeans.org/11.0/javadoc/apichanges.html https://bits.netbeans.org/11.1/javadoc/apichanges.html For help with the specific problems you're encountering, you're going to need to provide specific error messages, specific descriptions, etc. Gj On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 9:20 PM Rokicki, Konrad <rokic...@janelia.hhmi.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > > > I have a NetBeans Platform application using RELEASE82 currently.
