Yes, the --user-dir commandline override and friends do work nicely. But of 
course, it would be nice, if this would "just work", as it does, when the 
system encoding is ISO8859-15: in this case the NetBeans launcher handles the 
non-ASCII characters just fine. It is just the UTF-8 system encoding wrecking 
havoc.

I hope you have try as temporary changing a user home and user cache 
directories via command switcher.
