This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Currently there are several places where you have to specify connections to remote servers: * Team -> Git -> Clone... * Terminal Window -> Create New Remote Terminal Tab... * PHP Project Properties -> Run Configuration -> Remote Connection -> Manage... * ... What I would like, is a single, unified place to manage all these. I propose to add a node to the Services window: "Remote Connections". This would expand to a list of hosts. In the properties of each host, you'd have 1 tab per supported connection protocol (for now just SSH & FTP). The "Options -> Export..." dialog should also be updated for this: I propose to add a new category "Services" to reflect the Services window: - add "Remote Connections" - move "Databases" here (from its current category "Miscellaneous") - remove "Remote Connections (FTP/SFTP)" from the category "PHP", since it's now redundant
Another example are the "Remote Java SE" Java Platforms that can be added to NetBeans. So in the SSH tab, there should be options to set the JAVA_HOME directory, the NetBeans projects directory, etc.
