I move around a lot in operating sistems in networks where i don't have root acess, and that auto reinstall the OS ocasionally. I'd like to have a install of netbeans in a pen, that i could just copy over to a directory, or run directly that would keep my settings. I don't know how feasible this is, but it would be a good thing to have a contained dir, i could move around where netbeans was installed, and that could also be run in a OS independent manner. Anyway another thing that normally causes problems with this moving around, is the dependencies in projects. I already keep my projects in a pen, but when ever i open it in another OS the dependencies get lost. PS: java really should have a icon system for jars...HINT
It is more the core enchancement than the installer one. The netbeans userdir support does not lie on the installer`s shoulders as well as the projects` relative paths.
