Summary: Opening Java Project stored inside NB Module dir unintentionally converts line endings

Description Petr Somol 2012-11-30 13:24:49 UTC 
This is a slightly annoying but relatively unimportant issue that happens on Windows. I'll describe it on a concrete case:

1) hg clone "NB sources" correctly creates files with Unix style line endings although we are on Windows
2) Open JavaWebStart module
3) go to Files view to see that there is an embedded project under JWS called AntTasks
4) right-click AntTasks and choose Open Project of Folder
5) on opening the project NB silently converts these two files

javawebstart\AntTasks\nbproject\build-impl.xml
javawebstart\AntTasks\nbproject\genfiles.properties

so that they get Windows style endings. 

This can be verified,e.g., by 'hg status'. This unwanted conversion then can cause problems when committing.

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