Migrating Netbeans Class Libraries

Netbeans allows you to bundle up related jar files together as a class library and apply them to any other projects. While it is easy to create, use, and remove class libraries, moving them from one version of Netbeans to another is not a trivial task.

By default, Netbeans will ask you if you want to import settings from previous version on the first time installation. However, it does not give you enough flexibility. For example, if you want to go back to previous stable version of Netbean,s how can you migrate new class libraries you have created on the newer version? Recreating all libraries over again can take quite an amount of time. Surely there must be an easy way to get around this problem.
