Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

I haven't known this one either. Just spent  one minute to dig it up from the source code. My method was: 1. Search for "NetBeansProjects" in all properties which throw one Bundle.properties file in Project UI module the key was DIR_NetBeansProjects 2. Search the java files from project UI

I love this thread, how it developed will be the basis of several sessions I will be doing — essentially about everything that is truly good and truly bad about open source (i.e., shared ownership) development. Gj On Thu, 20 Feb 2020 at 21:00, joe foe wrote: > You learn something new

Start Netbeans with: -J-Dnetbeans.projects.dir= you can add that option into your etc/netbeans.conf as well On 2/20/20 6:59 AM, Mark Eggers wrote: I don't really understand why you described a disk crash, recovery, and then said that the default project folder wasn't to your liking / wasn't

Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

I don't really understand why you described a disk crash, recovery, and then said that the default project folder wasn't to your liking / wasn't easy to change. Instead, how about the following: I would like to change the default location of where File->New Project creates projects. I didn't

Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

Maven does this as well, and there are configurations (as well as command line options) to manage this. I would not be happy with a tool that changed the pom.xml or it's meaning. I like that I get a warning, and then I get to decide how to address it. For me, managing JDK versions by using

Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

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

Re: NB 11.2 change default project path

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

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

Do not change that file, do not touch it. The file you need, if what you want is define the JDK to use to start NetBeans, is "etc/netbeans.conf" in the installation directory. Gj On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 12:22 AM cryptearth wrote: > Well, I wrote my mail to soon before even try it myself - as

Well, I wrote my mail to soon before even try it myself - as I have to add: No matter what I put into the mentioned properties file it doesn't change the default path NB uses. I also tried to find it in other config files and even in the windows registry - but had no luck. So, as manual edit a

NB 11.2 change default project path

So, as I had to recover from a hard disk crash I had NB 11.2 set up again but didn't got any dialog about default project folder. As I got through google this has to be done manual by editing the file projectui.properties located in
