[platform] Settings dir for platform applications
The NetBeans IDE doesn't use old settings directories for later versions,
is it advised for a platform application to do the same?
Perhaps change it (the settings dir) every time one uses a new RELEASE of
the platform?
I'm able to handle my own changes in the preferences, but I don't know
what's going on in the NetBeans (Platform) settings.
How do you handle it in platform apps?

Thank you, that's good to know.

I think most of the platform applications would do fine with the same
userdir. At least I'm using netbeans-dev Snap for quite a while now
which uses the same user directory for more than a year now through many
NetBeans releases. it just runs fine, just make sure that you can read
your old configs. On the platform side I'd not expect big changes, it is
pretty stable for years.
