Usability improvement: Suggest the default NetBeans installation directory in the text field.
Changing priority and type to make sure it will get into Beta2.
I decrease priority from P2.
Fixed. Windows Registry is checked for NetBeans InstallLocation under Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\274c5407c4fa26908310cb5c1ce94f62 (last is product ID). So it works only on Windows. Nothing is done on Linux.

changing priority to P2 and marking as a beta2 candidate. The fix affects mobility installer only and really improves usability of the product.
Well, when it's P2 and beta2-candidate then it can easily go to beta2 branch. Marku, do it and then mark as beta2-fix, thanks.
We need to distinguish between dev, betaX, FCS. Every version will have its own unique product ID. I assume Mobility Pack 4.0 Beta 2 will look only for NB 4.0 Beta 2? Or higher too? Currently we think about using last 6 chars in ID for version info like 4000b2 for Beta 2 or 4000de for Development Version. It means we know future possible ID ahead but of course we do not know how many betas NB will have. I assume installer will check only for NB Beta 2. Also I will move searched ID to Bundle.properties.
Not yet committed.
As product ID was changed to distinguish between product versions this fix must be updated. (ie. searched product ID will be different)
It will also look at default NB install dir if there is NB installation on Linux/Solaris. If yes it will use it as default value in dir chooser panel. It should work for majority of users.
Just small note. No Mobility for Solaris is supported.
Check is added also for Linux.

Default NB install locations are moved to Bundle to have all configurable items at one place.

Fixed in "release40_beta2" branch.

We checked build 0916 on XP and linux. I offers path to beta2 (if has been installed earlier). ->verified
