How to find Netbeans Platform special pathes

This is a small hint of mine. For those special pathes Netbeans comes with the class Places. Here you get the user dir, the cache dir and more.

Here two examples:

  • User directory: Places.getUserDirectory()
  • Cache directory: Places.getCacheDirectory()

This artifact has to be installed.
