Hi, dev. I'm investigating this old bug, where moving the NetBeans installation directory, seemingly only on Windows, causes various problems on startup:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1914 Deleting the cache directory, or more specifically "all-layers.dat", seems to fix the problem. Examining the existing all-layers.dat file does reveal various references to the old NetBeans path. Are there any NetBeans veterans who might have suggestions for the best way to fix this problem, without requiring the cache dir to be manually deleted? (Since I don't see the problem on MacOS, I was hoping there might be partially working code already somewhere that attempts to invalidate the cache when the NetBeans directory has changed.) -- Eirik
