Description jpleed3 2010-03-17 15:40:16 UTC
I don't use 'display browser on run'. Ever. I usually have the page I'm interested in open already and I just refresh it. As such, browser on run winds up being rather annoying when it's on.

So I turn it off for each project and life is good until I open the project in a different version of NB, as often happens during NetCAT. I have no idea where the flag is stored to tell NB not to do this for a given project, but apparently it's not stored with the project itself.

So... could a property be created like: 
    <netbeans.displaybrowseronrun>false</netbeans.displaybrowseronrun>

Then I can just define it in the pom and not worry about it.

Another suggestion: how about an setting in Options / General right underneath browser for a Display Browser on Run global setting? Something like:
    Globally enabled
    Globally disabled
    Use project setting

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
