In our configurations, we often use a lot of options. It would be nice if, in the configuration dialog, there would be a way to show more information. I think the older versions on NB had a way (like shift-F2 maybe) to popup a window with a text area in it for typing multi-line content. I think it would be helpful to have a way to see more characters at a time. I am not sure if it would be better to just show a small entry field and then allow for a shift-f2 as mentioned above, or to just show more lines in the dialog. That being said, once the configuration is made, it is really only a matter of editing the properties file that is created. Doing this, the whole netbeans properties editor is at my disposal.
