Comment 1 Torbjorn Norbye 2002-06-14 16:55:48 UTC 
Fixed. Instead of saving the tasklist in
  {netbeans.user}/system/Projects/Default/TodoList/todolist.xml
(which was convenient because I could get to the Projects
 datafolder via the OpenAPIs "Places" API - and the extra
 TodoList folder was necessary because the projects support
 occasionally wipes out all toplevel files in the Default
 directory)

I now save it in
  {netbeans.user}/system/tasklist.xml

I also left a bit of logic in there such that it automatically
finds your old todo list if you don't have a new one - this
will be removed once the module gets to version 1.0 and is
intended only as a convenience for alpha/beta testers.
