AbdelHadyMu: Portable Netbeans

Simply do this:

Make sure you have the same JDK installed (in the same paths) on the machines where you use the USB drive - or copy the JDK on the drive too. The same applies to web servers / version control systems / runtimes, whatever is applicable.
Download the OS-independent.zip distribution of NetBeans. Unpack it on your usb stick.
The directories you need to copy are the netbeans userdir (.netbeans directory), and of course your project directories.
Check whether you have a global netbeans.conf file: If yes, make certain it is identical to the one in your userdir to prevent unexpected behaviour in either environment.
In your netbeans installation directory, open /etc/netbeans.conf in a text editor.

Change netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/6.5rc2" to something like
```
netbeans_default_userdir="X:/.netbeans/6.5" 
```
assuming X is your USB sticks drive name.
Change the path to the JDK from #netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk" to e.g.
```
netbeans_jdkhome="X:/jdk"
```
Make sure to remove the hashsign (comment).
