Description host 2014-03-10 17:53:53 UTC 
I have been successfully running NetBeans 8.0 RC1 and FCS under JDK 1.8.0-b129 on OS X 10.9.2. Now I have just updated the JDK to 1.8.0-b132 and when I am trying to start NetBeans, the splash screen comes up but then vanishes and nothing happens anymore. I have removed my user directory and the cache directory as well but still NetBeans does not start. In the messages.log file, the following exception can be found but otherwise no exceptions are thrown:

Comment 1 host 2014-03-10 18:54:58 UTC 
It seems that a faulty update from JDK 1.8.0-b129 to JDK 1.8.0-b132 caused the issue: NetBeans started to work again after (manually) removing all JDK 1.8.0-b129 artifacts and reinstalling JDK 1.8.0-b132.
Comment 2 host 2014-03-10 18:57:00 UTC 
Sorry but I meant to say "after removing all JDK 1.8.0", i.e. without the build number.
