I run updates-testing all the time, so I can't really answer that
question.  However, I never had any problem with netbeans failing to
install.  I can't find any indication that 6.5.1 is in the Fedora repos
or ever was.  F11 has had 6.5.3 since official release (I still have
the original repo I installed from).

Were you actually trying to do what you mention below, install netbeans
6.5.1 from the web, and thinking it was from a Fedora repo?  I can't
imagine a Fedora package looking for downloads from the web in order to
install;  they are usually self contained.

I assume there would be a conflict, though I don't really know.  I don't
know if there is a workspace switcher.

If you are installing from source, perhaps you can set that the way
various things can be set in ./configure, but again, I don't know.
