Please add "Skip" button to the screen where installer searching for java, on the next screen it asks for it anyway and it takes too long on my machine.
Could you please attach installation log file (available at at~/.nbi/log)? maybe we should reduce the number of possible JDK locations or improbe the search (e.g. do not search in directories starting with dot)

The Java search procedure has been improved. Now the overall search is performed at least 3 times faster than it was before. It doesn`t search in dotted directories and do invoke Thread.sleep(5) instead of Thread.sleep(50) when changing the investigation location.
I'll try that. Thanks! BTW for me it looks strange to have this progress bar with strange folders blinking at all, maybe it is better to show something like "Gathering system information..." without any forders. With such caption I agree to wait as long as needed.
gorrus, this progress bar has been removed. Instead of it the installer now performes initial configuration that also search for java (Configuring Installer, see screenshot) and no blinking messages are shown below the progress bar. So give a try to the latest build :) http://bits.netbeans.org/download/6.0/nightly/latest/

Great! That's just what I expected :) Will try that as soon as new nightly is ready.
actually, it is already there - in that build tha link points to:) the build finished a couple of hours ago.
I have just tried that, really cool! Nice and fast, no strange folders, thanks!
well.. then, wontfix :)
On Windows we should not do the JDK scan at all. Just read the registry for installer JDKs. The reason is that we should not slow down the whole installation just for the rare case of improperly installed JDK. Slow installation worsens very first impressions when evaluating the IDE.
