Where Are Project Group Settings Stored In Netbeans 6.7/6.5?
In: [user_home/].netbeans/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/projectui/groups. Just copy the folder projectui to your fresh NetBeans installation and you will get your old project groups. Btw. the configuration is stored in property files - it is easy to edit them.

Tip: you should set the current group to "none" *before* copying the config, otherwise you will lose one project group.

Vielen Dank! This information was a life saver when I had to migrate my projects from one beta to the next. You'd think there would be an easier way :-)

Do you know where the project group settings are stored in NetBeans 6.9 on a Windows platform?

Hi Brian,
sure: http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/where_are_project_group_settings
Even ported them to 6.9.1 :-)
Under windows the settings are stored in Document And Settings (as I remember)
enjoy NetBeans!,
