Command Line Arguments - Clean
One of the common suggestions I’ve noticed on the list when developing with
Netbeans is to clean the user cache folders when installing a new version
of Netbeans.
As such, I was wondering if there is any sort of command line option
similar to the eclipse -clean parameter that would allow that to happen
when starting up Netbeans.
In the Netbeans code (not while running in the IDE and passing time an in
development project) how ate command line options handle the IDE source
code?
Does something like this already exist? If not I can create new
enhancement issue to track it.
Given there could be multiple versions I’m not sure if that would require
some extra consideration to either clean all or select versions of files as
well.

Just started to write some specs on this last night. I'm going to share
it for discussion soon.

Depends what you're talking about there - every released version of
NetBeans has its own user folders.
In terms of development versions of the IDE, I generally find myself
launching with something like netbeans --userdir /tmp/nb112 a lot!
It would be good to think about how we handle userdirs, migration,
etc. quite broadly. One bit of the versioning puzzle that is not
templated and still requires hardcoding per release is location of
previous version userdir when starting a new version. There is a
pending PR there - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1530
Personally I think it would be better to consider better CLI and UI
options for cleaning userdirs and migrating from different versions
during the 11.3 timeframe. So your suggestion++ :-)
Best wishes,
Neil
