Upstream bug report:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-756?jql=project%20%3D%20NETBEANS%20AND%20text%20~%20crash

(I can't link this to the Launchpad report the usual way because
Netbeans has changed bug tracker, and Launchpad will only acknowledge
the old tracker's URL.)

Netbeans apparently consider this to not be a bug (!), on the basis that
it expects some of its folders which are currently stored under
/usr/share to be user-writable. Presumably, this is a packaging issue;
if the software is going to assume that directories are user-writable
we're going to have to move them to dotfiles or the like. It would help
to get clarification on exactly which parts of the directory are meant
to be writable; "all of it" would a) be horrible practice and b) make
packaging it very difficult, because a large amount of fixed content is
meant to be stored there.
