Re: Nb 8.2 a great platform to port to when still sitting on Nb 6.5 platform app

That was one of the most detailed technical blog post about NBP I have ever read. Good job and thanks for sharing! I hope it helps other devs to migrate their application. 

BTW "looove this tool !" is worth a new blog post (including a little gif screen cast). I guess you mean the generation of _hidden-entries, when you remove a menu entry from the expanded layer.xml node. But I think there are NBP devs which aren't aware of it. Express your excitement!

I have listed all my porting issues and their solutions (or workarounds) on http://bruehlicke.blogspot.com/2016/10/porting-my-nb-65-rcp-app-to-nb-82.html  maybe this helps some of you.
