NetBeans: Retrieve “Local History” archive from old installation

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 RC to Windows 7.

I also installed the latest version of NetBeans IDE (6.8).

I wanted to bring the “Local History” archive to the new installation.

I found the files on the old installation at:

D:\Users\John\.netbeans\6.7\var\filehistory

I copied all the files to:

C:\Users\John\.netbeans\6.8\var\filehistory

Everything seems to be fine. Just change the base path in the above example.
