Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2013-12-17 13:27:46 UTC 
Do you think making cache dir the same as user dir is valid idea? By default the cachedir=$userdir/var/cache they are not the same. Can you please correct this and check if the problem persists?
Comment 2 bakarirum 2013-12-17 13:49:17 UTC 
I guess I assumed the Cache dir would be created under the USERDIR as in 7.0 and below.  I specified the cache dir to be userdir/var/cache and it seems to be working.

Thanks for the tip.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2013-12-17 14:56:02 UTC 
Possibly the launcher could prevent the IDE to start when the --userdir and --cachedir are identical.
