Description harmanpa 2012-06-27 07:54:48 UTC 
As with #209222 but in a platform based application, the configured default cachedir (netbeans_default_cachedir or default_cachedir) in
etc/_APPLICATION_.conf is not used.

My config was:
default_userdir="${HOME}/_COMPANY_/_APPLICATION_"
netbeans_default_cachedir="${HOME}/_COMPANY_/_APPLICATION_/Cache" (also tried default_cachedir)

-> user dir is  "${HOME}/_COMPANY_/_APPLICATION_"        -> correct
-> cache dir is "." (C:/Program Files (x86)/_COMPANY_/_APPLICATION_) -> bad, and causes application to exit without warning

I'm using NetBeans IDE 7.2 Beta (Build 201205031832)
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2012-06-27 09:41:41 UTC 
Confirmed in latest development build.

As a workaround you can specify cachedir in etc/_APPLICATION_.conf in default_options="--cachedir C:\Users\Foo\Corp\Cache .... rest of options"

Thanks for your report.
Comment 2 harmanpa 2012-06-27 09:44:53 UTC 
Thanks, I'm using --cachedir as a workaround, although I have not been able to make variable substitution work (either with $HOME or Windows environment variables) in this so it does need to be set for each machine.
Comment 3 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2012-06-27 13:37:04 UTC 
This should be fixed in 7.2.
Comment 4 Libor Fischmeistr 2012-06-27 15:09:41 UTC 
fixed in core-main/rev/606e949272b8
Comment 5 Tomas Danek 2012-06-27 15:54:32 UTC 
verified in trunk; cachedir is now created correctly
