Description javydreamercsw 2012-09-21 18:32:37 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201209210001)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_07
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.3-b01

It would be nice to configure the Maven settings.xml file within the user dir and/or being a configuration that can be exported/imported. I usually have to redo all this when I change versions of the IDE, specially daily builds, since this is part of the installation itself.

I'm not entirely clear what is the problem described in the issue. the settings.xml file resides in ~/.m2 folder and is not configurable from the IDE.

if you are modifying the bundled maven installation's conf/settings.xml file, you would be better off installing a separate local maven installation, modify the file and set the maven installation as the one to use by the maven builds. That setting should be taken over from previous installations.

closing as incomplete, please reopen with further details
Comment 3 javydreamercsw 2012-11-08 14:49:35 UTC 
That's what I'm getting into. If you use the bundled Maven and modify it, the changes are not ported to the new installation either by the import settings auto detection or manual export/import. I end up overwriting the file manually. I would like to avoid doing that.

This would only apply to bundled Maven usage.

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,
