If you create a Maven project, NetBeans creates and populates the `~/.m2/` directory, and after a build, copies project files into a subdirectory within `~/.m2/repository`. Similarly, creating a Gradle project results in creating and populating a `~/.gradle` directory. Ideally, the documentation would specify the places where NetBeans' use of external build systems or libraries might create such directories, and remind the user to check those as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
