Re: where is Featured Demo kept?
Hi Emilian, On my machine (debian stretch), this is located at ~/.cache/netbeans/10.0/welcome/ Regards, Steve On Mon, 19 Nov 2018 18:16:07 +1100 "* William" wrote: > Nope it seems to be a build-in limitation.

Re: where is Featured Demo kept?
Well, this is a bit unusual config. The RSS reader is caching resources, just like a web browser. The timestamp of the cache is saved in ./config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/welcome.properties , something like: > www.netbeans.org/demos.xml=Sun, 08 Jul 2018 14:01:59 GMT I assume you still have that timestamp, which makes NetBeans believe you did cache the resource, but then you are lacking the cached file. --emi On Mon, Nov 19, 2018 at 9:16 AM * William wrote: > > Hi Emilian, > > Nope it seems to be a build-in limitation.

Re: where is Featured Demo kept?
Hi Emilian, Nope it seems to be a build-in limitation. I've done some more poking largely due to some other hassles and lucked(??) upon some more details. Short version here is: - "Feature Demo" somehow configured within the "--cachedir" (yes the cache) - Something else in the "--userdir" is pointing to that item in cache! You can't just save a user directory and expect to see your "Feature demo" feed. I am working to set-up a "baseline" with the plugins and config I want. So I was able to test some of those variables and pairing. Good thought. Thanks. On Mon, 19 Nov 2018 at 17:50, Emilian Bold wrote: > Maybe your firewall is blocking something?

Maybe your firewall is blocking something?

where is Featured Demo kept?
Hi all ... This is such a small matter and for some reason It just keeps bugging me. This little fee -- I imagine it is an RSS or something -- Keep vanishing. Can one of the kind people on the list tell me where this is kept? The file name and what URL it is supposed to grab ... Inorder for me to fix it when it breaks as it so frequently does (as now). I'm setting up a new PC and about 10 min. ago the "Featured demo" was showing a netbeans 9 announcement. Now it is dead. [image: image.png] Sometime ago when I put a bug against this the answer is to blow away my user directory. That's one answer. I'd much rather just fix it manually with an editor and proceed. My thanks in advance, Will.
