Description Masaki Katakai 2011-11-25 01:20:36 UTC 
"netbeans.user points to a non-existent directory." is displayed instead of help
when NetBeans user directory does not exist.

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1 RC1 (Build 201111232200)

$ /tmp/mkatakai/netbeans-7.1rc1/bin/netbeans  -help
Usage: /tmp/mkatakai/netbeans-7.1rc1/bin/../platform/lib/nbexec {options} arguments

General options:
  --help                show this help 
  --jdkhome <path>      path to Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition
  -J<jvm_option>        pass <jvm_option> to JVM

  --cp:p <classpath>    prepend <classpath> to classpath
  --cp:a <classpath>    append <classpath> to classpath
netbeans.user points to a non-existent directory.
$

Once NetBeans is started - ~/.netbeans/7.1rc1 is created, it's working properly
without this message.
