Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-03-18 13:13:37 UTC 
I suggest the launcher (or java part) to create a special file in the
user directory on startup and deleteOnExit() it. This could indicate
that a user is running the same NetBeans twice and could warn him. 

Moreover the file could contain a number of port on which the first
NetBeans are listening and use it to communicate any commands (move
main window to front, open command) to it.
