RE: Broken link in the comments of netbeans.conf
The "original" page is here http://web.archive.org/web/20190729145817/http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir maybe can be recreated ?

Although there are perhaps wider aspects of netbeans.conf we might want to document, as well as the fact that you can include another conf file in the userdir. So maybe should be /nb/config-file for future update?

Thanks for reporting that. I guess there are a lot more of this old content not migrated to new page. Will try to make a PR out of that.
