I duplicated some folder with project's config to a new project a few days ago and made there some modifications (project name, paths, etc). After few days a source config dir has changed and I am wondering how to diff that folders in 2 projects to apply that changes in new project.
If I select source file and then new file and select diff option in Netbeans - it works. But is it possible to make in on whole folder ?
Editing and Refactoring Code in NetBeans You can generate a side-by-side comparison of two files with the differing lines highlighted. To compare two files, select the nodes for the two files in the Projects window and choose Tools | Diff. The "diff" appears as a tab in the Source Editor.
To open a local file/folder (as a file-explorer) in Netbeans, in the top menu-bar goto: Window -> Favourites (or press Ctrl+3), this will open 'Favourites' pane, here you can open files or folders (in Linux, by default you will see your 'home' directory).
Use the dircmp command to compare two directories specified by the Directory1 and Directory2 parameters and write information about their contents to standard output. First, the dircmp command compares the file names in each directory.
In NetBeans IDE, choose File > Open Project. In the file chooser, select the project and click Open Project.
I was looking for folder compare in NetBeans too. I found http://kenai.com/projects/netbeans-dircomp/downloads. I'll try that in a little while...
