Description unai 2014-02-04 13:15:20 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : other ]

GNU/Linux x64, KDE, OpenJDK

From "Form Editor - Form File Compatibility Test Specification", NetBeans IDE
8.0 Full Testing - NetCAT

STEPS:
   * Launch NB via commandline with userdir parameter: ./bin/netbeans -userdir
../foo/bar

ACTUAL:
   NB tries to launch, but keeps rebooting forever, and you have to CTRL+C to
exit.

EXPECTED:
   NB opens using specified userdir

try --userdir
Comment 2 unai 2014-02-05 12:24:41 UTC 
True, the double dash fixes the issue. I will update the Test Specification accordingly
