Description Petr Chytil 2008-10-29 09:45:09 UTC 
The NetBeans folder, which is created by installer in /Applications folder on Mac is read only for administrator. This
prevents user from creating alias (shortcut) of NetBeans.app in this folder. I've checked other folder, which were
created by other application's installers and it simply doesn't seem to be common practice to create R/O subfolders in
Applications.
