I am having netbeans 7.1. When I am trying to update it, it says "Your IDE is upto date!". But you know, 7.1.2 and 7.2 are there!!! I thought this is because of an error in update channels.

However, I yesterday install C++ and hit "Update" in netbeans. It showed me list of C++ plugins which need to be updated and yes, it updated them too!. Why I am unable to update netbeans to its next version?

Not like days back, now sometimes netbeans shows "No documentation found" when I use intellisence to know what the particular Java method supposed to do. Is this has to do something with the above issue?

And err, when I type "download netbeans" in google, the first link is "Nightly - NetBeans". What is this "Nightly" thing? Please answer to both of questions. Thank you..

I found following answer in the NetBeans IDE 7.2 Installation Instructions:

Note:

Incremental version upgrades of the IDE cannot be performed at this time. To upgrade to the most recent version you must download the latest installer.
