Gili commented on NETBEANS-516:
-------------------------------
For the record, security isn't the only reasons that Netbeans and Maven use
user-specific configuration files.
What happens if two users want to keep Netbeans open at the same time? Won't
the instances corrupt each other's files?
I believe Maven might be designed for concurrent access per user (multiple
processes per user sharing the same repository directory) but I don't think
this kind of configuration has ever been tested. It will probably work though.

> Key: NETBEANS-516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-516
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva
> Priority: Minor
>
> As discussed in the dev mailing list, currently if Netbeans is installed in a
> computer with multiple user accounts, a different set of configurations will
> be created for each account. This means that each user will have his/her own
> set of Netbeans plugins and maven repository.
> However, this situation might be undesirable. This means that many plugins
> would be download and installed in duplicate by different users. This also
> means that maven repositories might be duplicated consuming double network
> traffic to be populated and double disk space.
> Security is a reason to mantain these configuration separation between
> different users. However, the user might not want that and instead would like
> to share his workspace with other users in the same computer. So, and option
> asks if Netbeans files should be stored in user private space or in shared
> space should be provided.
