A list of bugs and desired features for NetBeans that we may decide to report/request at some point.
=Desired Features=
==Script in run command==
The run command seems to only be a one liner at the moment. It would be good if you could enter a full script here. The way we work around it at the moment is to write a script and execute it in the run command via a "./InstallAndRun.sh" script.
==Marked local settings and option to switch settings==
There are two `configurations.xml` files that NetBeans loads. `nbproject/configurations.xml` and nbproject/private/configurations.xml`. I assume the latter is designed for local only settings. We don't check in anything in the private folder to our VCS for this reason.
It seems that `nbproject/private/configurations.xml` contains the run command section in the private properties. This makes sense if each developer is to have a different environment they want to configure. However it does add overhead and make projects harder to maintain if a runtime parameter change needs to be made on all development machines. We have deliberately set our environments up so that the run commands do not need to be modified between developers.
I tried moving the run settings from `nbproject/private/configurations.xml` to `nbproject/configurations.xml` but it seems as though NetBeans doesn't load those settings in this case.
**Request 1:** It would be good if project configurations that are local only are marked as such in the configuration window. This would have saved us a lot frustration trying to determine why settings weren't being transferred between developers.
**Request 2:** Make it possible to choose where settings are configured if they were originally intended to be local only. For example - the run command. If a slider (or check box) on the left of the option allowed us to switch whether the setting is stored in shared or local settings.
