Created attachment 149408 [details] Screenshot of the error message OSX 10.9.5 requires installer signatures to be in "v2" format. NetBeans installers are signed with "v1" format and OSX 10.9.5 refuses to run the installers with an error message.
A workaround: go to System Preferences / Security & Privacy / tab General and switch "Allow apps downloaded from:" to "Anywhere".
Signing changed to v2 - http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/cfb3fe4a2272

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201409241121* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/cfb3fe4a2272 User: Libor Fischmeistr <lfischmeistr@netbeans.org> Log: #247353: Installers not working on OSX 10.9.5
Created attachment 149543 [details] NB won't install at all now This seems to have made the problem worse and into a definite blocker; now you can't install NB at all on OS X even if "allow from anywhere" is set (testing on Yosemite). See the attached screenshot which occurs when the installer is started. I'm testing on the 26 September build. Before this you could indeed set the "allow from anywhere" option in System Preferences (or simply right-click on the installer and select "open") to get the installer to run. If anyone knows a workaround, please let me know.

It has been almost 2 weeks and it's still impossible to install NetBeans on OS X. Is anyone working on this?
Changing version to Dev since the committed "fix" is not in the 8.0.1 patch, and the duplicate issues are not specific to it.
I should mention that 10.10 has been seeded.
Sorry, that last comment is technically under non-disclosure. Can it be removed?
(In reply to athompson from comment #8) > It has been almost 2 weeks and it's still impossible to install NetBeans on > OS X. Is anyone working on this? Hi, it is possible to install NetBeans, there is simple workaround - just "right click" on the NetBeans installer and then click Open. The dialog will appear, then click Open on the dialog and you can successfully proceed installation. Of course we are working on this issue.

Hello, Actually this doesn't work. I get Install certifications error on the Netbeans installer itself. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hi6avgcgd9k4od/netbeans%20install%20error.mov?dl=0

Ahh.. that could be the problem. I am on Yosemite. Although running Netbeans 8.0.1 perfectly. Thanks Tony

It was I who pointed out that workaround, but it no longer works. Please read comment #6.
That is, please read comment #5.
To try to be more clear, the "right-click" workaround worked up until recently (I assume when cfb3fe4a2272 was merged). Now NetBeans can't be installed at all.

Works fine on standard 8.0.1. Does NOT work on the nightly builds I have tried recently. Thanks Tony
All dev builds up until cfb3fe4a2272 can be installed with a right-click, as well as NetBeans 8.0.1 since it predated any merge of `main-silver` with that commit into `releases`. Subsequent dev builds don't work at all. If it's working for you on Yosemite, you're likely not using the GM. I imagine the developer builds of OS X don't have or enforce all certificates so that third party developers can more easily test builds of their software on it.
But I am using 8.0.1 on Yosemite which installed perfectly. Trying to install the dev builds on Yosemite Do not. So that would be contradictory to your summary? Thanks Tony
Tony, I'm not sure what you mean?
Tony, I changed the product version to 'Dev' to reflect that.
I also changed the milestone, but it looks like it was changed back.
Still unable to install NetBeans at all on OS X. It's been almost three weeks...

I hate to be annoying about this (or more annoying than normal), but the whole purpose of Dev builds is to shake out glaring issues with NB before major releases. Going long periods of time where an entire class of users cannot test can do nothing but hurt the quality of the next release, especially on OS X. It has been more than a month since NB has been installable on OS X. I know that the Devs have a lot of things on their plate, but this has to be a top priority. I know I complain a lot, but that's because IMO NB is the best IDE out there, and I've depended on it for well over a decade (IIRC the first version I used was 1.8). I like to think that the feedback of enthusiasts like myself have helped to improve it over the years.

Created attachment 150358 [details] netbeans won't install Netbeans wont allow me to install the software on OS X 10.10
(In reply to mimisa from comment #41) Hi mimisa, That's a different problem from the issue that this bug addressed. The JDK/NetBeans bundle installer you're trying to use doesn't recognize Yosemite as a valid OS, which was a separate issue which wasn't addressed until very recently. You may want to check if there's a newer version of the bundle, but the surest way to get things working is by downloading the latest Oracle JDK and NetBeans installers separately. Both of those are verified working. If things still don't work, I'd suggest filing a new bug report and giving as much information about your environment as possible (exact OS version, bundle version and when downloaded, etc.
Can someone add back the original attachment?
(In reply to athompson from comment #43) > Can someone add back the original attachment? Unfortunately I haven't found that option. There is an issue related to JDK bundles - issue 248413 It should be almost fixed but the fix will be available with the next NB release.
Merged to release801 branch
Tried to install Netbeans yesterday. I've checked and I have the current version of Java (and Oracle's website confirms this). The error message I get during the install comes up during the detection phase and says: No JDK found NetBeans IDE cannot be installed. Java (JRE) found on your computer but JDK 7 update 10 or newer is required. Please download and install the latest update of JDK 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and restart NetBeans installation. Regards Wayne
