I work on unrealted projects all the time and it would really be nice if Netbeans supported the idea of Workspaces like Eclipse does. For example, it would be nice to be able to launch one instance of Netbeans with one set of projects open, while I lanuch another instance of Netbeans with a completely different set of projects. ----
It was suggested that one can achieve the same effect with different user directories. However, then one would need to manually copy global customizations. When designing this feature, please consider an improvement over Eclipse, namely to offer sections in the workspace. When writing a book, or teaching a class, I would like to have separate sections for each chapter or each module. Why bother with a feature for book writers or teachers? Readers and students are likely to try out what an author or instructor uses...
An even better way would be to allow projects to nest. Have a container project that can contain subprojects (or containers for sections). That would be better than the two-level organization in Eclipse.
that would be great!
