Tips & Tricks
Here’s a quick tip from our XING group. If you want to have a protable version of NetBeans to run it from a USB stick, download the “OS-independent.zip” distribution. Unpack it on your usb stick and open /etc/netbeans.conf in a text editor.
Change this;
# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir=”${HOME}/.netbeans/6.5rc2″
To something like:
netbeans_default_userdir=”X:/.netbeans/6.5rc2″
Assuming X is your USB sticks drive name. You’ll also need to set the path to the JDK here:
# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using –jdkhome <dir>: #netbeans_jdkhome=”/path/to/jdk”
e.g.
netbeans_jdkhome=”X:/jdk”
Thanks to Jens Brunken for this tip.
