Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva updated NETBEANS-516:
------------------------------------------------------
    Description: 
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, for two users, 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/her workspace with other users in the same computer. So, an option 
asking if Netbeans files should be stored in user private space or in shared 
space should be provided.
