Why is it provided?
For historic reasons and to solve some edge cases. I vaguely remember
using this option for a native lib wrapper module in early days, since
the JVM can load the same native lib only once without causing trouble.
So by adding the module to the platform/IDE made sure that it was in
front of the class path and it wasn't loaded twice. But today you would
use other tricks to achieve something similar.
But its not there to encourage running NB with root rights.
I prefer to install binaries under binaries locations, which is
/usr/lib here. /home is for data and configs. Helps to minimize backup
footprint an allows all users to profit from the installed binaries.
(esp with root rights)
Under which conditions it is possible to install in shared directories
without root rights?
e.g by launching nb from the platform independent zip.
but as mentioned before: nb-javac is part of NetBeans - it does not need
to be installed since it is already there. A fresh NetBeans distribution
with new user config not finding it would indicate some other issue, e.g
corrupted installation or some problems with access rights etc - I don't
know.
