Netbeans has this wiki entry on line endings: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqEditorEOLs
But it isn't very useful. It just says that you shouldn't develop on different OS and that's that...
In my situation however, I have no power over it. I'm on a windows machine and the PHP app I'm working on needs to end with the UNIX EOL.
There does not seem to be an option to set this for new files. Can anyone tell me where to set this?

Quoted from the Netbeans Wiki: NetBeans editor respects the line separator used in an existing file. It reads the file into an editor document instance in the following way: First line of the file is read and the line separator type is determined - it is expected to be one of. "\n" (LF)- Unix.
If a new file is created the line ending will start with the system default: CRLF for Windows, LF for Mac and Linux, and CR for old-style Mac files. If a file contains multiple line-ending types it will display Mixed .
Back to line endings The reasons don't matter: Windows chose the CR/LF model, while Linux uses the \n model. So, when you create a file on one system and use it on the other, hilarity ensues.
Text files created on DOS/Windows machines have different line endings than files created on Unix/Linux. DOS uses carriage return and line feed ("\r\n") as a line ending, which Unix uses just line feed ("\n").
Just saw that you can set this as a command-line startup flag: -J-Dline.separator=LF
I haven't tested this myself but I'm looking for ways to bake this into the configs somehow.
