Hi Deji,
As you can see, there are 3 lists in the dialog.
The first one contains plugins which were found in previous installation
and are also available for the new version of NetBeans IDE.
Those are usually the plugins which are the part of the NetBeans IDE
itself or which are updated regularly.
The second list contains plugins which were found in previous
installation and not been updated to the new version of NetBeans IDE.
Nevertheless they are marked compatible (or should be such) so you can
import them after checking each plugin.
By default, all the plugins are now unchecked in that list.
The third one contains the plugins which were developed for the
particular NB version (e.g. for 6.5.x) and will not work for the
subsequent releases.
Running different IDE versions (latest daily, old dailies, 6.7 RC3) can
give different lists of plugins since the version differs.
Thanks,
Dmitry
