Fix

The configured default cachedir (netbeans_default_cachedir) in etc/netbeans.conf is not used in all cases.

My config was:
netbeans_default_userdir="../../dev"
netbeans_default_cachedir="../../dev/cache"

-> user dir is  "../../dev"        -> correct
-> cache dir is "." (netbeans/bin) -> bad

This is still an issue with a Platform app built on NetBeans IDE 7.2 Beta (Build 201205031832), "netbeans_default_cachedir" (and "default_cachedir" which I've also tried) doesn't set the cache directory, so when installed on a Windows machine it exits (because the cache is "." and is read-only).

It's a different issue than the reported one (was about NetBeans IDE, your problem is about Platform Application). File as a new issue with all details about the problem. Thanks
