Eirik Bakke updated NETBEANS-2493:
----------------------------------
Description:
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 set the default line ending style for new
files on the project level, or alternatively autodetect the line ending used
when the project is in a git repository (git's "core.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.
(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 to a git
repo with inconsistent line endings is a major pain--it produces non-sensical
diffs, and "fixing" the problem in a subsequent commit frequently causes merge
conflicts, since the whole file has to be rewritten.)
