Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

2020-02-19 Thread Geertjan Wielenga
Sure, create an issue and this could be something we implement. I don’t
think anyone has asked for this before but it makes sense to me. In the
Options window, it should be possible to specify the location of the folder
where projects are created by default. I agree completely, just had never
thought about it before.

TBH I didn'T read all of your reply, but from the first few lines I did 
read: no, you got me wrong.
My question is as simple as that: Is it possible, and if so: How?, to 
change the default project folder where new projects supposed to get 
created on disk? I didn't found any setting in whatever the GUI gives me 
(as someone else on this list a few ago said: "Netbeans is basically a 
graphical wrapper around maven.") and I didn't found any config file. 
The one mentioned on many search results on the net doesn'T seem to have 
an effect either, and the other user replied to my question seem to 
didn't got my question at all and pointed me to a file wich has nothing 
to do with per-user settings at all.
Yes, Netbeans has many flaws - and obvious a lot of them exists since 
15(!) years (I found a bug report wich evolved into a discusion from 
back late 2004 about this very topic). Is it really that much to ask 
just for a simple input dialog right at the first time start up where 
the user wants his default project location to be? And is it that hard 
to at least somewhat follow the style many graphical programms followed 
for the past three decades where you have a menu bar, starting with 
File, then Edit, then maybe some more, and end with Extras and Help - 
and to just put an "options" or "settings" into one of those - and offer 
the same settings dialog as mentioned before? How old is Netbeans? 15+ 
years? And it's menus are that - sorry to say it this directly: 
immature? It's like an early not feature complete alpha where someone 
couldn't decide just where to put it.
Back to modern days: Java 11 doesn't allow compiling for Java 5 any 
more. It's a simple if() just to check for the version of the compiler - 
and if it's 11 or above set the minimum target compiling level to at 
least 6 and disable any lower versions. C'mon - don't tell me 100s of

First of all, I'm just a happy NetBeans user.

Second of all, this is just my opinion.

So let me try to understand your problem first.

1. You crashed what appears to be a Windows data and programs disk

This is different than where your user profile is stored. I understand
this, since I do the same thing to minimize usage of a small OS SSD drive.

2. You reinstalled NetBeans on a new disk

3. You recovered your NetBeans projects on a new disk

The problem is that the 'Recent Projects' list links to the wrong
location. I'm guessing that this is the case since either drive letters
have changed or directories have changed.

In addition, there may be a lot of issues with the cache.

The best solution is to:

1. Ignore the 'Recent Projects' list until you've opened 10 or more projects

As Gj has pointed out, editing the projectui.properties file is not
something that should be done. I confess that I've done it, but it's not
trivial.

Just don't do it.

2. Before starting NetBeans, delete the cache directory.

In short, both will be rebuilt properly by NetBeans as you use the IDE.

As to your setting a target below 6 with JDK 11: - you can't. This is a
JDK limitation.

If you want to compile (and be proper) a J2EE 2.5 project, with source
and target set to 1.5 (in Maven parlance), then you have one option that
I can see.

a. Install JDK / JRE 8 along with JDK / JRE 11.
b. In Tools->Java Platforms, register the JDK 8 platform
c. In the project Properties->Build->Compile panel, configure the
project to use  the registered JDK 8 Java Platform

I do this all the time, as I'm trying to get a company I consult for to
move from J2EE 2.5 / Tomcat 7 to servlet spec 4 and Tomcat 9.

I do this on Windows 10 Professional, with the last Oracle JRE / JDK 8
and AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.6 installed from the zip file.

The only time things get unpleasant is if I try to build a JDK 5 project
from the command line, since my default Java is 11.0.6.

First of all, I'm just a happy NetBeans user.

Second of all, this is just my opinion.

So let me try to understand your problem first.

1. You crashed what appears to be a Windows data and programs disk

This is different than where your user profile is stored. I understand
this, since I do the same thing to minimize usage of a small OS SSD drive.

2. You reinstalled NetBeans on a new disk

3. You recovered your NetBeans projects on a new disk

The problem is that the 'Recent Projects' list links to the wrong
location. I'm guessing that this is the case since either drive letters
have changed or directories have changed.

In addition, there may be a lot of issues with the cache.

The best solution is to:

a. Install JDK / JRE 8 along with JDK / JRE 11.
b. In Tools->Java Platforms, register the JDK 8 platform
c. In the project Properties->Build->Compile panel, configure the
project to use  the registered JDK 8 Java Platform

I do this all the time, as I'm trying to get a company I consult for to
move from J2EE 2.5 / Tomcat 7 to servlet spec 4 and Tomcat 9.

I do this on Windows 10 Professional, with the last Oracle JRE / JDK 8

So, as I had to recover from a hard disk crash I had NB 11.2 set up

Two simple questions:

2) Is there any hidden way to change this via the GUI?

There're several other things the GUI doesn't handle as it should, for 
example allow setting target java version below 6 when a compiler 
version 11 or higher is used, as since v11 compiling is only supported 
down to v6 -> compile failure. Isn't an IDE supposed to give a developer 
some convenience? As far as I got into the overhead Netbeans require I'm 
not sure if it's the right IDE for me - but I couldn't get Eclipse to

HI Geertjan,
Thanks a bunch - got it working again.  When I tried to commit  from the
command-line, I found out that something crashed during the NB commit and
left an index.lock file in the the .git/ directory (not sure why NB
couldn't display changed files because of this, though, as the command-line
"git status" still worked).  Anyway, back up and running now, so thanks
again.
