Description

I open this new issue to collect several incarnation of this bug/feature.

It seems Java changed how it is writing preferences on Windows between Java 8 and Java 9.

This most probably triggers this issue when someone creates a Maven or Ant project under Java 8 and then tries to open it on Java 9 or later.

The resolution is to empty the userdir where the preferences are being saved.
