[68cat] Separating nbproject from source

[Jack Orenstein-5]

I'm using 6.8 to work on a C++ project with existing source. I created the project, and
the nbproject directory ended up in my top-level source directory.

What I'd like to do is to keep my nbproject directories elsewhere. I don't want to check
in nbproject (not everyone is on netbeans, or others are, but have their own configuration);
and I want to be able to delete source directories but keep the project definitions.

I didn't see any dialog option for doing what I want. Is there a manual procedure that works?

Good question.
For an existing java source tree it works as you expect.
