In netbeans 3.5 on Unix/Linux, runide.sh does not put the user local jar files in ${HOME}/.netbeans/3.5/lib/ext onto the classpath, as NB 3.4 did.
Jesse, please look at it, thanks :)
As designed - it was accidental that 3.4 did so. You can continue to use the -cp option to append to the classpath if you e.g. want to install custom look & feel JARs. Otherwise few users should need this directory anyway.
Jesse is right - verifying
