Well, that's only true for the Windows launcher AFAIK.
You can file an issue for that, there are a few people working on the Windows Launcher, they might can help this to happen.

Hi all, for the most frustating limitation is that in the .conf-file only ${HOME} are ${APPNAME} are substituted. A typical situation in a university context is that the size of the home-directories are limited because they are saved on a shared harddisk. In this case I want to switch for the nebeans platform app to an other self defined local folder which subfolders for each user. To do this I need the possibility to substititue other environment variables in the conf-file. It would be great to make this possible. best regards OliverHi 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?
