What to do when NetBeans fails on Win XP with "IllegalStateException: Out of bounds"?

On some systems, Netbeans fails because it cannot write to the Temp directory

(C:\DOCUME1\User\LOCALS1\Temp\

.
This is a problem with Windows, even though the directory seems to behave fine from Windows explorer.

Solution: Deleting and recreating the Temp directory solves the problem.

If you have this problem, then Netbeans fails (e.g.) compilation with an IllegalStateException: Out of bounds. The real culprit can be found in the messages.log file where there are many informational exceptions: Cannot write to system temp directory

(C:\DOCUME1\User\LOKALE1\Temp\)

  Applies to: NetBeans 6.x, 5.x
