Recently we added JS linter to our project and it uses .eslintrc config file that is in project root. Unfortunately I cannot see this file in NetBeans IDE nor in Projects window nor Files window. I tried to refresh the folders (via context menu option) with no success. I then tried to create other files which name is preceded with a dot, like .grunt, .svnignore, etc. with the same behavior - those files are not shown in NetBeans IDE. Except for .gitignore file, which is displayed and editable. Therefore I do not understand why all other "hidden" files are ignored by default...
