Description Geertjan Wielenga 2015-08-17 10:31:31 UTC 
Read the comments at the end of this blog entry: https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/youtube_create_a_node_js

"Is there a way to specify the default template engine to use ejs instead of jade i.e. express -e ejs."

The user was unable to see in the Options window that "-e ejs" can be added to the express.cmd. Maybe simply change the description or write below the field something like "Express application generator arguments such as '-e ejs' can be appended."
Comment 1 Tomas Mysik 2015-08-17 10:39:31 UTC 
Two notes:

(1) CLI parameters can be added to most of the CLI tools in IDE Options (at least to all PHP and HTML5 ones ;)
(2) EJS is not supported by NetBeans (only Jade is; if more templates are supported in the future, they will be added to the new project wizard)

Based on the above, I am not sure we should implement this enhancement. IMHO it would be best to provide this information/hint somewhere "globally".

Thanks.
