This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
See nbui. Plan to remove the folder from the UI, and deprecate its programmatic usage (which was never really a great idea).
Created attachment 10336 [details] Proposed patch, plus remove: core/src/org/netbeans/core/resources/startup.gif, core/src/org/netbeans/core/resources/startup32.gif, usersguide/javahelp/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/run/startup.html
Note also removal of mention from usersguide - one page deleted.
removed the help topic (not of much use anyway), tip of the day, and changed the layer file and map files. Will remove the help ID from the map file once the node is removed from the code.

proposed relnote: The Startup folder was removed from the Options window, so it is no longer possible to specify classes that are run in the IDE at IDE startup.
Sounds OK. (Technically you still can, but it's not supported or exposed in the UI.)
