Build #200202220845, JDK 1.4.0, Windows 2000 SP2:
trying to run NetBeans via "runide.exe -userdir ../blah" gave me this message:

Unknown option: {
Command Line Options:
-system <dir>         System filesystem root - this is the filesystem
                      which contains the templates and projects
-ui <UI class name>   use given UI class as the IDE's Look&Feel
-fontsize <size>      use given number as the font size of the IDE user 
interface (11pt default)
-locale <language[:country[:variant]]> use specified locale
-branding <token>     use specified branding (- for default)
-nologging            do not create the log file
-nosysclipboard       use internal clipboard instead of system one

Editing ide.cfg (adding -userdir ../blah) created ../blah as user directory 
without any problems.

Execution is not execution of NetBeans. Should we create a new
subcomponent launcher?
