In NetBeans 6.9, setting Right Margin to 0 effectively hides the text limit line.
Set the value in Preferences > Editor > Formatting > All Languages > Right Margin.
(Mac OS X 10.6.4, NetBeans 6.9)

line is not moving to 200 column, but you can hide it setting its color to same as the background

    For those wondering _how_ to change the colour, it's in `Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Highlighting -> Text Limit Line -> Foreground` – MikeFHay Dec 13 '13 at 12:16

    If you're a perfectionist, set it to an alpha of 0. Because anytime you select the line of code, you will see the vertical limit line of whatever color the background is. – califrench Apr 07 '14 at 04:57

You can set it to 0. So It will not be visible.

Are you talking about the line running thru the right side, by default at the 80 column point? That is Options -> Editor -> Indentation -> Right margin. I have it set at 200 columns which pushes it off the right side of the screen.

Hi~ I found out how to hide "Text limit line" :)

  1. Tools -> Options -> Export(Popup Win) -> Browse.. (Select target "ccc.zip" file) Select Options for Export : Check at "Editor" -> OK

  2. Edit xml file "\Editors\Preferences\org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml" in "ccc.zip" file.

    <entry javaType="java.lang.Boolean" name="text-limit-line-visible" xml:space="preserve">
<value><![CDATA[false]]></value></entry>

  3. Tools -> Options -> Import "ccc.zip" file

Done

As for now (October '18) in NetBeans 8.2 + 9 you can hide the text limit line or actually change its color by going to Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Highlighting -> Text Limit Line -> Foreground

Remember to go to tools, options, fonts & colors, highlighting tab, text limit line selected before exporting ccp.zip....

There is an easy way to disable the warning generated by NetBeans for number of lines.

Goto Tools > Options > Editor > Hints

Find the checkbox Too Many Lines > un-check the checkbox

and click Apply.

Enjoy :)

Have you tried to see if your project properties have formatting that overwrites the global properties?
