Description

Yeah Ubuntu on Windows is, I think still in beta but I use it for my daily work. At home and at work. It is really handy to setup enviroment stuff easily. So for this, NetBeans should be aware of installed stuff inside the ubuntu on windows. The path is "C:\Users\Chrizzly\AppData\Local\lxss (hidden folder)". So if NetBeans are aware of a cygwin installation, it should be treated like that too.

And for everything else like I installed node, c/c++ stuff, php and so on.

Would be great enhancement. I created such ticket for Terminal integration too, because of the Cygwin thing: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267478
