This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When importing a project to CVS, a wizard step to allow the user to review and add/remove ignored files. UI should be simple and something like the following: +-[Ignored Files]---------------------------+ | +------------------------------+ | | | bin ^| [ Add ] | | | *~ || [Remove] | | | *.bak v| | | +------------------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------+ This screen should scan the subfolders and auto populate with defaults such as ignoring *.bak, *~, *.java etc. Another option that would be useful for each entry would be a check box that allowed the ignore to not add to .cvsignore and to only ignore during the import. I use NetBeans for managing external projects (.NET), therefore I generally use the Favourites tab.
