Netbeans on multiple machines

[eastsidedev]

I have a PC at work and another at home. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to keep the two machines' netbeans projects synchronized. What I've been doing is copying files, and if it's a new project, re-create the project on the other machine. There must be a better way.

Copy the whole project directory containing all files. If you have multiple projects put all projects in one directory and copy that.

Subversion or Git.

I used CVS.  I don't remember but I believe you can checkout the whole  
project and it, the project, is created for you, though libraries had  
to be installed.  I was using three machines and kept things synced  
okay with minimal effort.

As others have suggested, using a version control tool like CVS,
Subversion or Git will help you maintain a central repository of your
files from which you can then checkout to make modifications.

The thing to keep in mind is that if you eg. modify the files at work,
make sure you commit the changes before going home, else when you're
back home you won't be able to checkout the latest updates from work.

cheers.
