Thank you Jesse, , I've find the new "userdir" directory name (by

default ?) -> .netbeans/x.y it replace old nbuserxy directory.

We know this, it's our main problem exporting projects, in netbeans

projects files some path are in clear text, but there are also

unreadable serialize datas ... I've not test but I'm not sure that

changing only the clear text part will work and it's not a good method

in my opinion.

But for a given operating system, building the same development

environment will be easy and sure is a good global approach for our

teams. The problem it left is that our developers may be able to work on

Unix or Windows, but first we can simply provide the two projects files

template (our ask for them to build it !)

Mounting (mainly from CVS) is part of our projects.

At this time we only evaluate this with netbeans ...

Our main approach is to provide an ant project file with all necessary

definitions for the target project (checkout, tags, jars ...), having a

prebuild netbeans project will be nice but is this is too complex at

this time, it"s maybe easier to have to rebuild it from scratch.
