Description Jan Chalupa 2001-02-27 15:14:21 UTC 
I tried to run the IDE with an empty -userdir option on my NT machine. I got the
following message:

C:\Forte\dev-134\netbeans\bin>runide -userdir
Unknown option: D:\nb_multi
Command line options:
-system <dir>         System filesystem root - this is the filesystem
                      which contains the templates and projects
-ui <UI class name>   use given UI class as the IDE's Look&Feel
-fontsize <size>      use given number as the font size of the IDE user
interface (11pt default)
-locale <language[:country[:variant]]> use specified locale
-branding <token>     use specified branding (- for default)
-noinfo               do not print system info during startup
-nologging            do not create the log file
-nosysclipboard       use internal clipboard instead of system one

----------------------------------------------

I see two problems here:

1. -userdir does not appear in the list of supported command-line options.

2. The 'Unknown option: D:\nb_multi' message is misleading. 'D:\nb_multi' is the
actual default user directory found in my Windows registry. However, it seems to
be mistakenly recognized as an option by the launcher.
Comment 1 Jan Chalupa 2001-03-12 09:36:21 UTC 
Version: 'Dev' -> 3.2
Comment 2 _ ttran 2001-03-13 15:34:50 UTC 
Re 1. runide -h will show the options known to the launcher, all other options
given will be passed to the main class.  What you see is printed by the main class

Re 2.  FIXED
