I'm using Netbeans 6.5, both under Sun's JDK 1.6.0_02 on Windows XP and under Sun's JDK 1.6.0_07 on Linux. I have created a custom license template Tools->Templates->Licenses->license-mylicense.txt When I add the setting project.license=mylicense to nbproject/project.properties, my custom license text gets included in new Java source files as expected. However, I can't guarantee that others I work with have also added the template file in their Netbeans installations, or used the same name for it. So I'd prefer to put this setting in nbproject/private/private.properties, so it's local to me and doesn't get versioned in our source control system. However, if I do this, the Java file template reverts to including the default text rather my customised version.
sounds like very specific requirement.
Yes and no. I'm currently able to use private.properties to override settings from project.properties and add new ones, to use in the project's build.xml. I'd just like project.license to behave the same way, currently only a value in project.properties has any effect.
I understand. Its consistency issue in this case.
