alice-teacher org.alice.ide.rootDirectory not set?

[Don Slater]

Is there a chance that you there are two different NetBeans plugins involved? Someone is using an older plugin version, or perhaps with Alice 3.1.92.0.0, someone is using the Java 7 plugin and someone is using the Java 8 plugin?

If they are different plugins for different versions of Alice 3 (3.1.88.0.0. vs 3.1.92.0.0, for example) then try updating the plugin. If it is a Java 7 vs a Java 8 problem, please let us know.

Thank you,
