It does - but not directly on a per project basis (primarily because
NetBeans doesn't have a "real" project concept yet - it will in the
next release).

Instead, the tasklist module lets you create multiple task lists;
these show up as tasklists in your filesyste explorer. Double clicking
(or right click -> open) on these tasklist opens them - and you can
have many of these open side by side.  Therefore, you can create
one (or more - I do that) tasklist per logical project that you're
working on.

As an additional benefit, the tasklist can be version controlled
along with the rest of your project. It's stored in a standard format
(icalendar - .ics files).

To create a new tasklist, use the "New From Template" dialog and drill
into the tasklist category.

I've been thinking for a while that this technique may not be obvious.
So I was thinking of adding the "new tasklist" functionality into the
context menu for tasks. That way you'd either have a "New" item in
the context menu which is a pullright with two choices: "Task", "Task List",
or, at the top level of the context menu, have two items:
"New Task", "New Task List".  What do you guys think of that?
