Eirik Bakke created NETBEANS-2493:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow default line ending for new files within in a
project to be customized (or autodetected)
Key: NETBEANS-2493
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2493
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: editor - Settings
Affects Versions: 11.0
Environment: Primarily relevant for NetBeans users on Windows 10 who
want to preserve unix line endings (or users on MacOS who want to preserve
Windows line endings).
Reporter: Eirik Bakke
Editing and saving existing text files (e.g. Java files), the NetBeans editor
correctly preserves the file's line ending style (Linux/UNIX/OSX "\n" vs.
Windows "\r\n"). However, creating a new file always seems to use the
platform-default line ending.
It would be useful to be able to customize the line ending style on the project
level, or alternatively autodetect the line ending used when the project is in
a git repository (git's "eol" config property). Right now, after creating a new
file in NetBeans, I always end up having to change the line endings with an
external tool and then re-opening the file in NetBeans.
(In my own case, my main machine is Windows 10, but my git repository is
configured to accept only UNIX line endings, via "core.autocrlf=false",
"core.safecrlf=true", and "core.eol=lf". Accidentally committing files with
inconsistent line endings is a major pain.)
