Description kalle1 2017-06-10 16:15:18 UTC

invoking `bin/netbeans --help` causes the loading screen to be displayed and a delay before the rest of the usage message is printed to console. That's confusing for the user because he_she might think that a process was started and failed and the delay in unnecessary.
