OK, so it sounds like there could be problems, like extra diffs, if people use different versions. What about adding a directory which contain project file templates instead? Then one could just do a "cp -r tools/templates/nbproject ." or something each time a new copy was checked out. That would allow users to do customizations without conflicting with the checked-in template. The same thing could be done for other IDEs as well. > On 6/28/07, David Van Couvering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I didn't get any answer from the user community about about project >> file portability between versions, I"m going to try another channel... >> >> On 6/28/07, Knut Anders Hatlen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > David Van Couvering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> > >> > > I don't know about the guaranteed compatibility between major >> > > versions, but I did notice that I could open a project in NB 5.5 that >> > > I created in NB 6, so things look pretty stable.
