I updated the Codename One plugin in Netbeans from 3.5.6 to 3.5.7. There is a bug in the latest version which stops MultiButtons for working (#1954). Is there a way for me to remove the latest version and return to version 3.5.6 so I can carry on developing my app?
Looking at the code it seems it was broken because of (ironically) lead component support.
I'm guessing we'll need to release another update this Friday as it seems like an important bug fix. I'm not aware of any way to revert a netbeans plugin to an older version.

Apparently, the ExtJS' forum isn't working anymore, so asking the question here.
I am trying to upgrade ExtJS integrated in a big application. Currently, it's using version 3.4.1 and I have to upgrade it to 7.5.0, so a lot of changes are expected. It's my first time working with ExtJS. I've been reading their documentation & examples for a while now, but I'm having issues understanding some things.
If someone's experienced with ExtJS, could you tell how big is the difference between these versions? What kind of effort is expected for this upgrade? Will I have to rewrite everything, or just changing files and API calls would be enough?
Another thing is that the folder structure in the new version looks quite different from the older version. Ours using 3.4.1 looks like this -
ext-js 3.4.1 image
There are no new adapter or resources folders in the new verion. Are these folders not required anymore, or is it possible to get the same folder structure with the new version?
Is it possible to download older versions of ExtJS like 4.x, 5.x etc.? I tried but couldn't find it, I was able to download the older documentation though.
Downloaded the latest ExtJS version from here.
Referring this Sencha ExtJS documentation.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Download
You should download the version from support.sencha.com. There you can find all versions.
To access the download page, you need to log in. If you have lost your login, you can contact Sencha's licensing department.
Make sure you have a valid license.
Upgrade
If you are new to Sencha, you should not do the work yourself. Between version 3 and 7, there are at least two new coding paradigms and you'll have to rewrite everything. Unfortunately, there is no easy upgrade process from 3 to 7. If you had to upgrade from 5 to 7, it would be possible to ignore all the cool new features, but if you are starting from 3, you will have to rewrite everything.
Building process
In your screenshot, I can see that you are using the full ExtJS file. But are you really building the application? That means you end up with a single js file and a single css file.
Are you building your application?
Are you using SCSS?
You should definitely contact someone with experience. I've done quite a few upgrades in ExtJS to know that you need help with this.

How to install 6.5 & 6.5.1 in eclipse(more detail below)
Intellij Toolbox last version supported is 2019.2.4 but looks like codeone plugin doesn't support it?
In intellij, codenameone 6.5.1 simulator is not working(font is way too small) but it's working in 6.0.0 with my eclipse(from when I played with it 6 months ago). I am trying to test out each version to see what the latest version is that is not broken for me(hopefully at least 6.5). When I go to eclipse marketplace, there is no upgrade and it just shows this for codename one (eclipse verison 2020-06 as I clicked update all)
I don't see a way to download a zip file and install it in eclipse and only see the install from marketplace method here
https://www.codenameone.com/download.html#step2
Is there a zip download for eclipse somewhere I can try of 6.5, then 6.5.1?
I also want to try to downgrade my intellij version but we also need the latest so I grabbed the new intellij toolbox but this only goes back to version 2019.2.4. The compatibility list on codenameone plugin is such
I wonder about that first line for 6.5.1. A dot release and they added support all the way back to 2016 version which 6.5 didn't have? Seems like a type. Also, 6.5.1 did not work with latest intellij and honestly getting worn down in playing the version mismatch game of uninstall/install to see what works and doesn't work (it's just takes quite a bit of time).
If anyone can post a STABLE list of IDE version / plugin version they are using, I would LOVE to know that <- If I know that, I will just jump to that. I can cope with eclipse or intellij. In fact, eclipse debugging is way better and intellij refactoring is way better so I am always torn between each.
Trying 2019.1.4 with many versions next.
Figure this out finally. Not sure exactly but this repo https://github.com/deanhiller/codenameOneExamples
now works with latest intelij 2020.1.3 !!
I wanted to update the framework version in my application to 6.7.0. I tried a lot, downloaded the new version of Sencha Architect, used the commands from the documentation. As a result, the framework seems to have been updated, but it has not been updated either.
In the console after entering the command "Ext.getVersion()", I see that the current version of the framework is 6.7.0.
In Sencha Architect worth version 6.6.0.
What am I doing wrong?
You have to edit the .xds file manually.
Apparently there is no way to upgrade from previous versions to ExtJS 6.7 in Architect itself.
The manual process is described on

I recently read FIRST CLASS ECLIPSE SUPPORT which made me expect a cn1lib-wizard. But there still is none, right?
The gist of the article is that we will update the Eclipse plugin with the NetBeans & IntelliJ versions. With the trend of migrating towards common code across IDE's within our plugin (the new settings UI) this should be much easier and Eclipse should no longer be out of date with the other IDE's.
I'm not sure when we'll get around to do the library template, unlike the other features it requires some work since the Ant implementation on Eclipse is rather different. So it's hard to give a specific date.
I understand Codenameone 2.0 has been released. When I updated the plugin from my IDE, the plugin version on Netbeans says it is version 1.0.68? Is this the 2.0?
The plugin version has nothing to do with the version of Codename One.
Codename One versions are mostly a code stabilization milestone that can then be used in versioned builds. Since Codename One is a cloud service you are effectively always using the latest version of Codename one unless you explicitly use a versioned build.
