This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Need an easier project management structure (similar to ... <gulp> JBuilder's) where each project is stored in it's own directory. All files, source, settings, compiled, etc are stored in a nested directory and package structure in this directory. This makes project archiving, sharing, updating much easier and manageable. Project folders can reside anywhere on a users machine and settings files only contain relative directory paths (allowing easy, easy distrubution across different OSs running netBeans). In this method, netBean's project management window simply keeps a list of the most recently opened projects and their paths... allowing for quick reopening of projects.
We are working on this for about more than one year, please visit http://projects.netbeans.org and check for what is planned in the new projects system for Netbeans. If you have any quastions, comments, etc. please mail on dev@projects.netbeans.org. Thanks for your feedback! *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17991 ***
