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.
PVCS and VSS systems do not store any configuration files in users working directories (VSS stores vssver.scc file, but it is not readable as plain text, PVCS can have vcs.cfg but it's not required). Thus in most cases it is necessary for the user to manually setup configuration of these version control systems through VCS Manager. In order to keep the information about versioned directories persistently, a special settings folder can be created in PVCS and VSS directories after the configuration is set up from the VCS Manager. These folders can be used as well as a persistent storage of cached file status information.
For PVCS we can create ".nbpvcs" folder in every PVCS working directory. In the .nbpvcs folder located in FS root there will be "Config" file with configuration settings like repository location, etc. In every .nbpvcs folder there will be "netbeans.cmd.cache" file with cached file status information. In a similar approach we can create "nbvss" folder in VSS working directories.
Removing PROJECTS keyword, scheduling for promo-D.
Auto-recognition will not be in promotion D. Scheduling for future.
Auto-recognition of CVS and other systems was abandoned for performance reasons.
