One last question: since I work on NetBeans, I have an
"ide-project/NetBeans" directory with NetBeans project configuration
files. This configuration is not specific to my machine; it is designed
in a way that should make it possible to anyone to open it (NetBeans
stores user-specific information in a separated directory called
"private"). It is not a replacement to Maven; actually Maven must be run
at least once before to open the project, because the project refers to
some files produced by Maven.
While NetBeans can open natively Maven projects, NetBeans projects are
faster to debug and contains information not found in Maven projects,
for example the words added to the spell-checker for the SIS javadoc.
Would it be okay if I commit a clean (user-neutral)
"ide-project/NetBeans" directory, excluding of course the "private"
sub-directory? Maybe something similar could be done in an
"ide-project/Eclipse" directory if someone wish.
