How do I export / import NetBeans preferences (like themes, editor colors, etc.)?

IntelliJ IDEA (since version 14.0.2) has the ability to export / import custom settings with the menu options "File-> Export Options ..." and "File-> Import Options". I wonder what is the easiest way to achieve this effect in NetBeans 8.0.2?

Note. I want to keep the version controlled NetBeans IDE settings on GitHub so that I can easily import them whenever I need to (for example after reinstalling the OS).

For those trying to access the Options menu on a Mac, it's available under Netbeans->Preferences

(or command + ,

). Export and import options are located on the General tab in the lower left corner.

Import and Export is not meant to import or export settings from another development environment, but to move settings between two JetBrains IDEs.

I know that JetBrains is trying to offer you the ability to import your preferences from Eclipse (perhaps with a plugin to import and share a lot of things with Eclipse like code style, projects, etc.), but this is not available for NetBeans.

However, it is possible to import the project from NetBeans and you can find some help for using IntelliJ when exiting NetBeans here: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/IntelliJ+IDEA+for+NetBeans+Users
