Description jgjp 2013-09-19 19:52:02 UTC 
Upto 7.1 there used to be Templates/Classes and Templates/Licenses subfolders in the user directory, so users can store their own templates and licenses.
Now there is no such folder.
Where should new templates be stored now?

There is Templates in Tools menu where you can customize class templates and license texts.
Comment 2 jgjp 2013-09-23 20:40:01 UTC 
The menu approach only allows me to add new templates manually.
With the folder approach, I used to be able to copy template files from other users, from previous versions of NetBeans, etc. 
The manual read-and-enter approach is cumbersome, slow and mistake-prone, and moreover, it used to work before. It should have been retained in the new version.

Just modify or add new template, the Templates directory will be created
Comment 4 jgjp 2013-09-23 23:16:57 UTC 
Ok cool, that worked.
