However, any major sharability feature could probably be integrated at the GUI level with project groups, perhaps using the Folder group kind. > would it be sometimes useful to share some types of project groups > among users, rather than making them private as you suggest?

But for these group kinds, there is no real reason to share the definitions, as the definitions are trivial and can be recreated in a moment in another developer's IDE if desired. It would be more logical to share a non-autosynch free group, although I am not convinced there is a lot of value in this. Sharing an autosynch free group would be a bad idea because just opening any other project for a quick peek would change a definition file in version control, very likely causing a merge conflict on your next update. -J. -- [email protected] x22801 netbeans.org ant.apache.org http://google.com/search?q=e%5E%28pi*i%29%2B1
