Description dandubois 2009-07-21 22:00:34 UTC 
To recreate the problem:

Create a new NetBeans Platform Application and build a zip distribution.
Run the distribution and look at the name of your application's user directory.
You will see that it has a E} appended to it.

For example if my application is called 'testsuite', my user directory will be called '.testsuiteE}'.

I have reproduced this on WinXP and OS X Tiger.

Same issues here. I noticed that this bug is only for Netbeans 6.7 (previous netbeans version does not exhibit this bug).
I also noticed it is happened on Windows XP. it does not happen on Linux.

Reproducible
Comment 3 rmichalsky 2009-07-24 17:19:25 UTC 
Looks like a launcher issue, generated app.conf file is correct, but as soon as I can get to netbeans.user property in
Java code (in o.n.MainImpl#execute in bootstrap), it already contains wrong value. Tomasi, please evaluate.
