Hi all,
What do you think on the idea to create a simple Java agent which can
insert system properties into the JVM before NetBeans starts?
My motivation are the following:
1. Sometimes you need to change some properties to debug NetBeans
behaviour. Copy and change netbeans.conf can be clumsy. (Ok, I know
what I'm doing and it is fine for me, but we have other users.)
2. There can be a situation when some values needs to be computed, like
Java 11 were messing up with font rendering on Linux and there is no
proper default value for the antialiasing property which works on
all platform. Also dpi awareness for HiDPI would requires some logic
as well.
Unfortunately this won't solve the currently quiet bloated command line
in netbeans.conf (just probably reduce it a bit.)
It would be good to be able to set the Memory and GC flags for the IDE
as well (though memory would be sufficient)
What do you think?
