I had a look at the code, the netbeans launcher uses. There are two code
paths:
Linux/mac OS (from `nb/ide.launcher/unix/netbeans`):
```bash
case "`uname`" in
Darwin*)
# set default userdir and cachedir on Mac OS X
DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/NetBeans"
DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT=${HOME}/Library/Caches/NetBeans
;;
*)
# set default userdir and cachedir on unix systems
DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT=${HOME}/.netbeans
DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT=${HOME}/.cache/netbeans
;;
esac
```
Windows (from `nb/ide.launcher/windows/nblauncher.cpp`):
```c++
string NbLauncher::getDefaultCacheDirRoot() {
TCHAR defCacheDirRootChar[MAX_PATH];
if (FAILED(SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, NULL, 0,
defCacheDirRootChar))) {
return std::string();
}
defCacheDirRoot = constructApplicationDir((string) defCacheDirRootChar,
true);
defCacheDirRoot.erase(defCacheDirRoot.rfind('\\'));
logMsg("Default Cachedir Root: %s", defCacheDirRoot.c_str());
return defCacheDirRoot;
}
```
The shell variant is trivial to replicate, but the windows code is harder -
if we are willing to pull `jna-platform` into the build, the function is
already build. Alternative 1: We copy the function definition from jna-platform
(JNA has no notice, so only the copyright will remain with JNA), Alternatve 2:
Someone say how to access the special folders from the CLI.
