change default scala platform netbeans?

Question

I want to change my default Scala platform in netbeans under

tools->scala platforms

I cannot delete the default platform and I can't define another default platform, just additional ones!

The default platform path doesnt work (error) and somehow it does not find scala when i copy the scala platform to the path of the default platform.

Is there a way to do this in NetBeans or in the NetBeans config files?

thanks for any help!

Answer(Max OSX):

Go to

/installation/path/NetBeans x.y.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

change netbeans_defaut_options:

netbeans_default_options="..... -J-Dscala.home=/scala/installation/path/scala-x.x.x.y"

I am not sure if the notion of scala platform is still relevant with the current versions of the Scala Netbeans plugin .
See bug 172214 :

Per nightly built version of Scala plugin, I have removed bundled Scala runtime (the latest was still in 2.7.3), and may not add it back.
The reason is that Scala 2.8.0 changes a lot and is not in beta yet, scala.editor module should sync with Scala 2.8's development progress frequently.

I'll try to get scala.stdplatform module working with the scala sdk under environment $SCALA_HOME.

The latest NetBeans6.9 Scala instructions recommend setting $SCALA_HOME environment variable to point to the installed Scala runtime path.
And to Add $SCALA_HOME/bin to PATH environment variable.
