Change Netbeans default project folder to something other than nbproject

Question

We have multiple people working on php projects. Is there a way to have netbeans 7.2 call the folder with all the metadata something other than nbproject?

I want all projects I create from existing sources to have something like qwertymk and whenever I create projects or try to load them it will always go to folder named qwertymk instead of nbproject.

Answer 1

Obviously the folder name is hardcoded in several places within Netbeans, but you have options to work around that by placing the nbproject somewhere else, e.g. into a subfoler where it does not get on your nerves. Look at this old thread, specifically at this post. I cannot magically change hardcoded Netbeans stuff for you, but I would be happy if the solution I am pointing you to would satisfy your needs and answer the question.
