             Summary: Shareable Netbeans configuration data
                 Key: NETBEANS-516
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-516
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva


As discussed in the dev mailing list, currently if Netbeans is installed in a 
computer with multiple user accounts, a different set of configurations will be 
created for each account. This means that each user will have his/her own set 
of Netbeans plugins and maven repository.

However, this situation might be undesirable. This means that many plugins 
would be download and installed in duplicate by different users. This also 
means that maven repositories might be duplicated consuming double network 
traffic to be populated and double disk space.

Security is a reason to mantain these configuration separation between 
different users. However, the user might not want that and instead would like 
to share his workspace with other users in the same computer. So, and option 
asks if Netbeans files should be stored in user private space or in shared 
space should be provided.
