Answer 1

On Mac OS X:

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans XXX.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

(Where XXX is The installed version of NetBeans)

Example for NetBeans 8.0:

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.0.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

Answer 2

Current as of this date for Windows, go to %APPDATA%\NetBeans, then the version (I have 8.2 and dev). In there you'll find a config folder with tons of stuff under it. I came to this Q&A looking for info on fonts and colors. That info is now found under config\Editors. Some base info for your themes are in there under FontsColors. Styling and color details are under folder text, and then in subfolders similar to the above.

As an example, I went to tools>options>Fonts&Colors. I duplicated the Darcula profile into (my initials) TGDark to make changes. Then to Syntax, HTML, and "Javascript Embedded in HTML", I set the background color to #3F2B2B. Now, in the file system I found this setting under:

C:\Users\tony\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev\config\Editors\text\html\FontsColors\TGDark\org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomFontsColors-tokenColorings.xml

And in that file, note the bgcolor:

<fontcolor bgColor="ff3f2b2b" default="default" name="javascript-embedded"/>

What an adventure...

usr/local/netbeans.{version}/etc/netbeans.conf

Answer 4

On an ubuntu platform you can use the following command

locate netbeans.conf

to find where the netbeans files are located. It's the best way that provides with a precise location of your netbeans.conf file.

Hope this will help someone in need.

Answer 5

In my NetBeans 6.7, this file is located at

{netbeans-installation-dir}/etc/netbeans.conf

I guess if you are using Windows, and the default folders, you should be able to find somewhere here:

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.8\etc\netbeans.conf

On a linux box, you should be able to find the file somewhere here

On Linux the installer lets the user choose where you want to install NetBeans. You may find it under /home/yourname/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf or /opt/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf. [ from http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqNetbeansConf ]
