title: How to keep Netbeans from automatically copying configuration files to private folder?
body: <p>In Netbeans it is possible to create specific run configurations (main class, parameters) through the "Project Properties"->"Run" settings.</p>
  
  <p>Such configuration files are then stored in the nbproject/configs folder.</p>
  
  <p>Now, whenever I open and save the project properties, this configuration is "copied" to nbproject/private/configs.</p>
  
  <p>Can I keep Netbeans from creating these private configuration files?</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that the files are not copied exactly. If my original config looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>main.class=[myPackage].MyMain
  
  arg1=SomeValue
  arg2=SomeOtherValue
  
  application.args=${arg1} ${arg2}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the "copied" file only contains the single line</p>
  
  <pre><code>application.args=${arg1} ${arg2}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which obviously cannot not work, since my main class then gets those strings literally.</p>
