sdkLocation overwrite

[Former user]

System: Mac OS X 10.8.4, NetBeans 7.3.1, latest Android plugin, latest Android SDK

I have setup sdkLocation in NetBeans Preferences to proper path (e.g. Android SDK Manager starts just fine). On NetBeans (re)start I get the error bellow and sdkLocation is "empty" (in Preferences), so I have to insert it every time. I also do not know from where the "C:\Android\android-sdk" information is taken from (as seen in bellow error). My environment variables ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_SDK are set to proper location (I checked with System.getenv()).

Regards.

Most likely someone committed local.properties file with sdk.dir property set to this location. this should be removed from VCS. I can try to fix the plugin to ignore these wrong values of there is actual settings.

No feedback from reporter. Sorry, I can't find if this is a user setup problem or a bug.

Im having a similar issue.

Sometimes, when adding a library to a current project, or when opening a library project from current project's library list, an Exception is thrown. The implications of the Exception is that the android sdk path field from "Netbeans preferences" is erased.

I know the following should be done via command line "android update", but it would be great if when opening a project with a "broken sdk.dir" on local.properties, NBAndroid plugin auto updates the sdk.dir, with the one i selected in "Netbeans preferences".
