PavelTurk opened a new issue, #6713:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/6713

   ### Description
   
   Netbeans stores its files in the following directories:
   
   ```
   ~/.cache/netbeans/19
   ~/.netbeans/19/config
   ~/.netbeans/19/var
   ```
   
   As I understand (I can be wrong) that NB supports XDG Base Directory 
partially. I would suggest either to support this specification fully or don't 
support it at all. Because it is very illogical and confusing every time I want 
to clear cache or see config files of NB.
   
   So, it should be either:
   
   ```
   ~/.cache/netbeans/19  // XDG_CACHE_HOME
   ~/.config/netbeans/19/ //XDG_CONFIG_HOME
   ~/.local/state/netbeans/19/  //XDG_STATE_HOME
   ```
   or
   ```
   ~/.netbeans/19/cache
   ~/.netbeans/19/config
   ~/.netbeans/19/var
   
   ```
