             Summary: DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT not propagating to platform application (Linux and MacOS)
                 Key: NETBEANS-4367
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4367
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: platform - Launchers&CLI
    Affects Versions: 11.3
         Environment: NetBeans Platform applications on MacOS or Linux.
            Reporter: Eirik Bakke


(The following issue description pasted from Patrik Karlström's email to dev@netbeans.apache.org on 2020-05-23. Eirik Bakke had the same issue in his NetBeans platform application, and has a patch ready.)

The following is done with NB Platform 11.3 and Java 11 on Kubuntu 20.04.

While I was about to use the cache dir logic provided by the platform I ran into this problem.

My cache dir is in
${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/var/cache
and not as expected,
${HOME}/.cache/${APPNAME}

The app.conf contains
default_userdir="${DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT}/dev"
default_cachedir="${DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT}/dev"

Did some echoing in the bin/appname and DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT was set ok, but not picked up by the application.

When specifying --cachedir it gets picked up by the application.

I created a simple testapp and this problem is there too.

So I guess the question is, Is this related to my doing or the platform?
