How get the last update of Netbeans 7

Question

I currently use Netbeans 7.0.1. From the About Page : Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 (Build 201107282000). I use Netbeans under Ubuntu behind a proxy.

I see on Netbeans Website that a new version 7.1.2 is available http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html.

When I check for Update i saw : Your IDE is up to date! There are no updates available.

What is the problem ? I should download netbeans from the website and reinstall ?

Thanks

in Netbeans 7.0.1 is not a simple "update", this is a new release. "Updates" are designed to update the current release, only. In addition, the "check for updates" button works very well - it shows updates and new releases. You can download and install NB7.1.2 and import all the the NB7.0.1 preferences.
