Description caesar2k 2009-05-03 22:03:27 UTC 
I have a few work stations, and sometimes I want to have the same exact configuration between each workstation. 
Currently, I switch between 3 computers, depending where I'm now. Everytime I install a new version, milestone, or even,
install Netbeans on another computer, I have to manually config everything manually!
An export/import settings is a must. IMO it should zip/gzip the needed settings, and you could later import on newer
versions (for example when migrating from 6.5 to 6.7), or just replicate the same configuration in several computers.
Same goes to code and file templates. It's hard to keep the exact same code pattern when doing it by heart, and also,
time consuming!

Already implemented in NB6.7.
