This thread is very useful for finding out which files in Netbeans should go into source countrol, but it doesn’t cover all files.
In particular I’m wondering whether the following files should go into source control. Here are my assumptions/guesses:
-
nb-configuration.xml – easiest – the file itself in the comment says it should go into source control.
-
nbactions.xml – from what I see this file stores information typical to running the application. I.e. JVM arguments etc. So I suppose it is a question of taste – if you want other developers to have a "suggested" Run configuration – include it. Otherwise – don’t. Correct?
-
catalog.xml – not sure what this does (I GUESS it’s used by the editor to find out xml schemas and such to enable syntax coloring, but it’s just a guess). Anyway – I see that this file has system-specific information (path) – so it shouldn’t go into source control.
Can anyone confirm the above?
Thanks,
Piotr
In my Maven based projects I put
nbactions.xmlinto source control. Just make sure to change absolute paths to relative ones.
