Description emiddio 2009-07-31 00:10:50 UTC 
after removing all file filters from tools/options/misc/files/Files Ingored By IDE
i can now see "most" filenames that begin with "." including both directory and filenames;

but i cannot see .nbattrs file in 67/config/J2EE/InstalledServers/

i want to edit the file from within netbeans -- to be safe i can use a different version of
netbeans with a different user directory to edit the file.

i need to edit the file to rename the name of my various servers without deleting and readding.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2009-07-31 15:31:36 UTC 
.nbattrs files are always hidden, since they are interpreted as metadata by the filesystem layer. This will not be changed.

The real issue is that you felt the need to edit this file to begin with. The UI ought to provide some way to change the
server names, I guess.

Anyway the installed servers list should be updated to use NbPreferences, not the system filesystem. (It is possible to
read & convert the old format for compatibility.)
