John listed five separate possibilities. In NB 6.8 the "Tools" menu pad is
not within the "Ant" menu. I assure you there is a "Tools" menu pad in NB.
Right there in plain sight, two positions to the left of the "Help" menu pad
on the far right. See it?

Try looking where John suggested.

For reference, "java.ext.dirs" is set externally with a "-D" command. The
"nbproject/project.properties" file is in your project subdirectory. The
"cache" subdirectory is literally at the location John mentioned.

Lew: Thank you for clarifying that.

Tim: You're looking for "bea10". The same information in the Tools >
Libraries menu is found in ~/.netbeans/6.8/build.properties (or the
Windows equivalent).

Tim: No "bea10"?

Lew: Good point. I usually search the directories found in the
corresponding system property, but those can change.

Tim: Deleting the entire cache seems harmless on my platform, but I
don't know about Windows.
