How to sync netbeans config/plugin/updates across multiple systems?

Question

I use netbeans in both my desktop and my laptop. Updating and installing plugins on both systems is cumbersome, hence, it would be nice if there was a way to sync configurations, plugins, and updates across the systems.

I tried copying the ~/.netbeans directory, however, that also brings along the list of recent files and open projects in the other system.

Note: The OS, in both the machines, is Linux.

Answer 1

there are some possibilities

• create your own linux package and manage the updates
• check in subversion/cvs/git whatever your vcs is
• or use a simple ftp/sftp solution
