Originally forked from issue #257116; see the exception reports: there's an inconsistency between JAR path which the IDE looks for when reading cached binary layers vs. -Dnetbeans.home and -Dnetbeans.dirs values.

It could be that the user has moved the installation but did not clear caches, or some nasty side effect after installing a new version.

Please evaluate or move the category as necessary. Thanks.
