How to set default NetBeans project settings?

I use NetBeans to develop c++. The default setting is to use an older c++ standard. I want to use c++11 for all my projects, but I can not find a way to set the default. Currently, what I have to do every time I create a project, is go File -> Project Properties -> C++ Compiler -> C++ Standard -> C++11. It gets very cumbersome to do this every single time I create a project, and I am trying to set the default C++ standard that will automatically be applied whenever I create a new project. I have been searching around for a few days, and I haven't found any help online. Could anyone help me out? Thanks so much.

I'm not seeing your concerns on NetBeans 8.2:

  • C++11 can be set during project creation. Setting it on the Properties screen is unnecessary.
  • After selecting C++11 in the project wizard it becomes the default selection until it is changed.

You specify C++11 using the wizard when creating your C++ project:

  • File > New Project...
  • Select Categories: C/C++ then Projects: C/C++ Application
  • Click Next >
  • On the Project Name and Location screen select C++11 from the drop list to the right of Create Main File. This is only necessary the first time you create a C++ project. After that it will default to C++11.

cppC++11

After completing the wizard, Properties > Build > C++ Compiler > C++ Standard shows that the value is already set to C++11.

Am I completely misunderstanding your concern? Or are you possibly using an older version of NetBeans without that drop list shown in the screen shot above?
