Reassigning.
It most probably means the path does not exist. I thought {userdir} was the home directory (/home/jan) but it seems it is something else (/home/jan/.netbeans/dev). It's just a matter of error message then. Once I hardcoded the path it didn't save to the new file. I had to restart netbeans to have it save to the new file.
