'NetBeans - where to find the IDE log?
I reported a bug to http://issues.apache.org I have to give them a IDE log, but I have no clue where to find it?
I searched in C:\Users\MyUser but there is no folder for netbeans.
I am on windows.

The logfile is stored in the "User Directory".
The location of the user directory is shown under "Help -> About".
Inside that directory the logfile itself can be found in the sub-directory var\log and is named messages.log
You can display the log file directly inside the IDE using "View -> IDE Log". The first view lines of the logfile also include the information about the user directory.
That is helpful if you just want to copy & paste a part of the logfile (e.g. the exception of the error you are reporting).

The NetBeans IDE keeps its log messages in a file called /var/log/messages.log in the NetBeans userdir.
Windows 7 : C:\Users\joe\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.2\var\log\messages.log
Windows XP : c:\Documents and Settings\joe\Application Data\NetBeans\7.3\var\log\messages.log Application Data directory is localised to your Windows XP installation language

For macOS it is located here:
/Users/{username}/Library/Application\ Support/NetBeans/{version}/var/log/messages.log
