Can you upgrade netbeans without downloading the whole install?

Question

I can update the plugins, but I don't see a way to update for the whole product. I have Netbeans 6.7.0.

Thanks!

Answer 1

No. Not with a normal binary install.

You could build it yourself from the source. Then you'd just need to use subversion to upgrade your local sources to a new release branch and rebuild. This would probably be more trouble than you are willing to go through.

Answer 2

Use the menu: Help->Check for Updates.

Answer 3

You can use netbeans 6.7.1

Answer 4

For Netbeans 6.9:

Note: Incremental version upgrades of the IDE cannot be performed at this time. To upgrade to the most recent version you must download the latest installer.
