Svatopluk Dedic updated NETBEANS-5711:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Non-shared AuxiliaryConfiguration persisted in var/ (was:
Non-shared AuxiliaryInformation persisted in var/)
> Non-shared AuxiliaryConfiguration persisted in var/
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-5711
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5711
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: projects - Gradle Java EE, projects - Maven
> Affects Versions: 12.4
> Reporter: Svatopluk Dedic
> Assignee: Laszlo Kishalmi
> Priority: Major
>
> The implementation of *gradle* and *maven* project stores non-shared project
> *AuxiliaryConfiguration* contents as FileObject attributes which in turn is
> stored in *$nbuser/var* area. That are is however relatively 'transient' -
> although it's not in *cache* dir, which can be routinely wiped out by some
> users (e.g. in case of problems with the IDE), it is still outside of *conf*
> area that holds IDE configuration.
> In addition, if a different userdir is used for the IDE run, these settings
> are lost / not propagated, which can be seen as a bug or as a feature :)
> An alternative approach to *AuxiliaryConfiguration* can be developed that
> uses *UserDefinedAttributeView* from NIO - could work on all major platforms
> *including Windows.*
> **I am not sure about having this implemented directly in FileSystem layer as
> some users may see the userdir-scoped storage as a feature. But definitely we
> can make a stock implementation in Project API, that will obey a setting: to
> work as it is now or use NIO APIs.
