Bug Description

Binary package hint: netbeans

1. Ubuntu release

Ubuntu lucid 10.04

2. Version of the package:

netbeans 6.8-0ubuntu4

3. Expected behavior

On first start, if NetBeans detects settings from a previous installed version (e.g. in `~/.netbeans/6.7`), NetBeans opens a pop-up asking to *Confirm Import Settings*. Choosing *Yes* should just import the previous settings.

4. Actual result

The import fails because of a "missing file or directory" and the system shows a pop-up with the following message:

> java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/netbeans/6.8/etc/netbeans.import (No such file or directory)

Indeed, there is no `/usr/share/netbeans/6.8/etc/netbeans.import` file and NetBeans doesn't import anything.
