How to clear cache in NetBeans 8.0 OS X

How do I clear the cache in NetBeans 8.0 on OSX Mavericks?

Previous posts have suggested that I remove the files under

  • /home/{user}/.netbeans/7.4/var/filehistory and
  • /home/{user}/.netbeans/7.4/var/log

but the hidden folder .netbeans appears to be absent on my computer. Has it moved?

Solution

  • Check menue NetBeans > About menu, it shows path to cache dir. The paths you posted look like for Linux, on Mac it is (at least with recent versions of NetBeans) something like

    /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Caches/NetBeans/8.0/
