[BlueJ build #200601251500] In Options dialog there is a special category for BlueJ in BlueJ build. It is not possible to set BlueJ home there because it expects the root directory of BlueJ installation. But it is not possible to browse the installer (NetBeans.app) - it is not a directory and the parent sirectory of NetBeans.app is not accepted.
It doesn't work on Windows either. In fact I don't understand what is this setting for. Some default BlueJ Home should be set - default value should be available and just possible to change. Or did I miss something?

Jaro, this is the place where you have Bluej installed. in bluej it's possible to have some jars (aka libraries aka stuff to put on classpath) in some directories in the bluej installation. And these should be added to the classpath of ALL bluej projects. it's optional and without a defautl value because 1. most people don't use it according to the bluej guys and 2. you don't need something filled in for the projects to work. maybe the wording needs to change to make it more obvious what it is?
It works fine for Windows XP but does not work on Mac OSX. The BlueJ-Directory is not accepted as a BluJ- Directory.
changed the options ui to accept macosx locations as well. required also changes to the underlying infrastructure because the userlib directory is in different location. -> change to build-impl.xml script IMPORTANT: requires to delete the build.xml file and nbproject directory in existing bluej projects that were opened in netbeans.
