Description

netbeans/harness/etc/app.conf has this:

  default_cachedir=""${DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT}/dev"

 

The extra double quote causes RCP-generated apps from loading on Linux with:

   Syntax error: unterminated quoted string

 

Changing to:

  default_cachedir="${DEFAULT_CACHEDIR_ROOT}/dev"

 

in app.conf fixes the generated builds.
