where is the NetBeans config file (netbeans.conf) located?

my NetBeans has ugly fonts in interface. I'm going to make antialiasing for it. In internet I saw that there is should be

-J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on

in netbeans_default_options. This file should be located in /etc/netbeans.conf. But there isn't this file. I have NetBeans 6.8. Help, please.

UPD:

[ockonal@wincode ~]$ cd ~/.netbeans/6.8/

[ockonal@wincode 6.8]$ ls

ant build.properties docs lib modules sources update_tracking bin config
jsstubs lock native update var

UPD2 With utilite find I did:

find / -name 'netbeans.conf'

This gave me:

/usr/share/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf

I am using Manjaro Sway Linux based on Arch, and for me, the netbeans.conf file was located in usr/etc/netbeans.conf. I was also having the problem to locate the file, and thus performed a search operation in the root directory using terminal which helped. sudo find / -type f -name "netbeans.conf".

In Arch/Manjaro it's in /usr/etc/netbeans.conf (locate netbeans.conf is our friend)

In macOS for the latest release Apache NetBeans 14 it's located here:

"/Applications/NetBeans/Apache NetBeans 14.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf"

On an ubuntu platform you can use the following command

locate netbeans.conf

to find where the netbeans files are located. It's the best way that provides with a precise location of your netbeans.conf file.

Hope this will help someone in need.

Current as of this date for Windows, go to %APPDATA%\NetBeans, then the version (I have 8.2 and dev). In there you'll find a config folder with tons of stuff under it. I came to this Q&A looking for info on fonts and colors. That info is now found under config\Editors. Some base info for your themes are in there under FontsColors. Styling and color details are under folder text, and then in subfolders similar to the above.

As an example, I went to tools>options>Fonts&Colors. I duplicated the Darcula profile into (my initials) TGDark to make changes. Then to Syntax, HTML, and "Javascript Embedded in HTML", I set the background color to #3F2B2B. Now, in the file system I found this setting under:

C:\Users\tony\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev\config\Editors\text\html\FontsColors\TGDark\org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomFontsColors-tokenColorings.xml

And in that file, note the bgcolor:

<fontcolor bgColor="ff3f2b2b" default="default" name="javascript-embedded"/>

What an adventure...

On Mac OS X:

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans XXX.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

(Where XXX is The installed version of NetBeans)

Example for NetBeans 8.0:

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.0.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

In my NetBeans 6.7, this file is located at

{netbeans-installation-dir}/etc/netbeans.conf

I guess if you are using Windows, and the default folders, you should be able to find somewhere here:

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.8\etc\netbeans.conf

On a linux box, you should be able to find the file somewhere here

On Linux the installer lets the user choose where you want to install NetBeans. You may find it under /home/yourname/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf or /opt/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf. [ from http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqNetbeansConf ]
