Hello, ernie, best regards.
I solve that problem having the netbeans cache dir in the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
in linux. That directory is in a tmpfs, so every time I restart my machine
it start
with an empty directory. The directory is generated at the time of running
.bash_profile
Leave mavenindex in its original directory, but the other files are
generated in the
temporary cache directory. And inside that directory, I added a symlink to
mavenindex within the NetBeans cache directory.
The script in my bash_profile is as follows:
# netbeans
mkdir -p "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/netbeans"
if [[ ! -e $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/netbeans/mavenindex ]];then
ln -st "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/netbeans/"
"${HOME}/.cache/netbeans/mavenindex/"
fi
It first creates the netbeans directory inside XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if it not
exists. Next, first
verify that `mavenindex` does not exist in the directory, and then create a
symlink pointing to it.
Finally, I added the following option to the NetBeans launcher:
--cachedir “${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/netbeans”
