NetBeans Portable

For all you coders out there, I have come across config file in the NetBeans Directory (\NetBeans\etc\netbeans.config). In there the important parts read as follows:

# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir="[Your JVM user.home Path]"

# default location of J2SE JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome switch
netbeans_jdkhome="[Your JDK Path]"

Now here comes the important part:

Step 1. Change '[Your JVM user.home Path]' to something like '.\netbeans\5.5' that way the program looks for the folder in relation to its current folder and not a drive letter.

Step 2. Change '[Your JDK Path]' to the path of the JDK on you portable drive except using '.\'s (ie ".\JDK\") instead of drive letters so NetBeans looks for the files in relation to folders and not the drive letter.

*NOTICE*
I did NOT change any copyrighted material, all the compiled files are in their original form. The only thing I changed was the config file. I need some people with more portable app experience to run this and see if I am missing anything. Also, I am not responsible for any damage to your machine in case you royally screw something up, do not know how that would be possible but gotta cover my own a$$.

Anything I am missing please e-mail me at fleury29[at]gmail.com

PS
Don't forget to dl the awesome add-ons on the netbeans site which include a C/C++ compiler, and the web development addon.

Have Fun Coding!
