Using NetBeans
Q: Which version of Netbeans should I use?
A: Use the Netbeans version referenced in the Identity Manager product documentation provided
for the Netbeans plugin version you are using.
Q: The Netbeans plugin was working, I did something, and now it is no longer working. What could be
causing this problem?
A: This problem is commonly caused by a corrupt file in your .netbeans directory. Generally,
deleting your
.netbeans directory and re-installing the NetBeans plugin resolves the problem.
(Deleting the
.netbeans directory effectively uninstalls the NetBeans plugin. You lose all of your
user settings, but the contents of your project will be safe.)
The steps are as follows:
1. Shutdown NetBeans.
2. Delete the .netbeans directory.
3. Start NetBeans.
4. Install the NetBeans plugin.
5. Restart NetBeans.
NOTE Always use the exact version referenced because even patch releases can cause major
functionality to break.
