Broken link in the comments of netbeans.conf
Hello,
the netbeans.conf that is bundled with a release contains this explanation:
# Default locations of userdir and cachedir:
# (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir)
But that link is no longer working.
It would be nice if that could be changed to a working page.
Thomas

Looks like it could be good choice, but please don't link it direct -
Maybe use -
https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/userdir-and-cachedir
Then redirect to the GitHub page from -
https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/blob/master/netbeans.apache.org/src/content/.htaccess#L45
This keeps our inbound links from the IDE, etc. in one place.
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?
Best wishes,
Neil

The "original" page is here
http://web.archive.org/web/20190729145817/http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir
maybe can be recreated ?

I think it would be nice if there was an "end-user" explanation of what (and where) the user dir is.
That page is mainly intended for platform developers, not someone just "using" the IDE.
"delete the userdir" is unfortunately still a common way to fix some startup problems.
But very often when suggesting that, people ask "what is this userdir thing", and it would be nice to have an explanation that is not intended for those developing with the platform, but rather those users that "only" use the IDE.
Regards
Thomas

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.
