Whenever I start Netbeans 4.1 I get exceptions like this: IOException - Could not delete: ..\.netbeans\4.1\var\cache\all-layers.dat NullPointerException (2 of them) IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/ide5/modules/ext/AbsoluteLayout.jar] NullPointerException IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/enterprise1/docs/jst-1.1.2-javadocs.zip] NullPointerException IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/ide5/modules/ext/junit-3.8.1.jar] IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/ide5/docs/junit-3.8.1-api.jar] NullPointerException (2 of them) IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/enterprise1/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7/common/lib/jsp.api.jar] IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [../netbeans- 4.1/enterprise1/docs/j2eeri-1.4-doc-api.zip] ... If there is any more info I could get it would be appreciated. The software is installed on a network in which we do not have write access to the drive it's installed on. Thanks, Dan
Your user directory (--userdir, or default given in netbeans.conf) must be writable by the user running the IDE, in order for settings to be stored. By the way if you do not know which component to use when reporting bugs, please use 'ide'. 'nbbuild' is something else entirely.
