Just install the new software. It can co-exist with the ver 1.4. Your "global variables" may be a problem if you try to address both versions.

Hi Rajym,

Is that Environment Variables (i.e JAVA_HOME) you refered as global variables?

Netbeans usualy reads its default values from the following file:

<YOUR_NETBEANS_HOME>\etc\netbeans.conf

This file contais all default configuration values used by netbeans at the time of boostraping. Ta variable called 'netbeans_jdkhome' in this file that you can define the jdk directory you want to work with netbeans.

Perhaps this may give you some hint to solve your problem.

Cheers!
