Configure line endings for editor

[Sven Reimers <sv...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

we actually have an issue with development splitted between linux and
windows based on the native line ending selection for new files.

There once was a plugin
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/36810/show-and-change-line-endings

from Jan Lahoda, allowing to change the line endings used for editing.

@Jan, do you still have the sources (seems the project was hosted on kenai)
and would you be willing to donate them? I think this might be a good
addition for Apache NetBeans

Comments?

I use cygwin on Win7. The CR causes problem with some tools.

I still use Jan's tool, the old bits still work; it's cool to be able to 
see with a glance the line endings. (and I need to remember to file a 
bug report for that file that gets changed simply by opening the project 
:-) )

And SCM settings are a backstop to protect the repository.

Don’t people usually solve this at the level of git these days? I recall
there was some setting for setting Unix line endings on the bits that get
committed.

While I broadly agree with Tim that this is normally solved at the VCS
level, there is probably no good reason why this couldn't be contributed:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2049

(please let Geertjan review&approve.)
