Depends what you're talking about there - every released version of NetBeans has its own user folders. In terms of development versions of the IDE, I generally find myself launching with something like netbeans --userdir /tmp/nb112 a lot! It would be good to think about how we handle userdirs, migration, etc. quite broadly. One bit of the versioning puzzle that is not templated and still requires hardcoding per release is location of previous version userdir when starting a new version. There is a pending PR there - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1530 Personally I think it would be better to consider better CLI and UI options for cleaning userdirs and migrating from different versions during the 11.3 timeframe. So your suggestion++ :-) Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
