When adding a weblogic 10 server that is not installed the default directory (c:\ or user.home), netbeans will not
recognize a valid weblogic 10 server.

The offending code is located in the "findBeaHomes" method in the "package
org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.weblogic9.WLPluginProperties.java" class. the method is as follows:

    private static List<String> findBeaHomes() {
        List<String> beaHomesList = new LinkedList<String>();
        String dir = "";
        if (Utilities.isUnix()) {
            dir = System.getProperty("user.home", ""); // NOI18N
        }
        else 
        if (Utilities.isWindows()) {
            String systemDrive = System.getenv("SystemDrive"); // NOI18N
            if (systemDrive == null) {
                systemDrive = "C:"; // NOI18N
            }
            dir = systemDrive;
        }
        File beaHomeList = new File(dir + File.separator + "bea" + File.separator + "beahomelist"); // NOI18N
        try {
            BufferedReader br = null;
            try {
                br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(beaHomeList));
                String list = br.readLine();
                if (list != null) {
                    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(list, ";"); // NOI18N
                    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
                        beaHomesList.add(st.nextToken());
                    }
                }
            }
            finally {
                if (br != null) {
                    br.close();
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            String msg = NbBundle.getMessage(WLPluginProperties.class, "ERR_READING_BEAHOMELIST", beaHomeList.getPath());
            Exceptions.attachLocalizedMessage(ex, msg);
            Logger.getLogger("global").log(Level.INFO, null, ex);
        }
        
        return beaHomesList;
    }
