+ When the <code>netbeans</code> launcher starts, it also manipulates
+ (reads and writes) following properties:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><api name="NETBEANS_USERDIR" category="devel" group="property"
type="export">
+ <p>
+ If this <em>environment variable</em> is set to a valid value,
+ then its value is used as default user dir
+ instead of <code>netbeans_default_userdir</code> read from
+ the config file.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When the value of user dir is finally determined by the launcher
+ (by considering default values, value of this environment variable
+ and <code>--userdir</code> CLI switch, etc.) the launcher sets
+ <code>NETBEANS_USERDIR</code> environment variable for itself
+ and its subprocesses.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ That way executing <code>netbeans</code> in the NetBeans internal
+ terminal will know what's the userdir of the surrouding NetBeans
+ and will open files in the same instance just as
+ <a href="https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/8756";>#8756
illustrates</a>.

+ The launcher also modifies the <code>PATH</code> variable
Review Comment:
It is still part of the same `NETBEANS_USERDIR` API, so probably one `<li>`
is correct. I changed the indentation in 1e13163 however.
