> The implementation of *gradle*  and *maven* project stores non-shared project *AuxiliaryConfiguration* contents as FileObject attributes which in turn is stored in *$nbuser/var* area. That are is however relatively 'transient' - although it's not in *cache* dir, which can be routinely wiped out by some users (e.g. in case of problems with the IDE), it is still outside of *conf* area that holds IDE configuration.
> In addition, if a different userdir is used for the IDE run, these settings are lost / not propagated, which can be seen as a bug or as a feature :)
> An alternative approach to *AuxiliaryConfiguration* can be developed that uses *UserDefinedAttributeView* from NIO - could work on all major platforms *including Windows.*
> **I am not sure about having this implemented directly in FileSystem layer as some users may see the userdir-scoped storage as a feature. But definitely we can make a stock implementation in Project API, that will obey a setting: to work as it is now or use NIO APIs.
