Description cezariusz 2015-04-23 12:26:36 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201504210001)
Java: 1.8.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.45-b02
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_45-b14
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; UTF-8; pl_PL (nb)

During the development process of a large platform application it's often necessary to perform a full clean. The problem is that it also cleans the testuserdir, destroying all the configuration settings, which is usually not desirable. What I would like to see it a separate action to clean only code, that would delete "build" directories in all the modules and in the main application, but without the testuserdir.
Another solution is to move the testuserdir outside the main "build" directory and add an action to easily delete it from the module suite context menu.
