Description _ hong_lin 2008-11-08 01:51:22 UTC
This issue is reported by Marketing Wen.Huang@Sun.com for one PHP community guy, who wanted
to try out NB for PHP but NB kept crashing on start. 

Customer machine configuration:
OS X 10.5.5; 64 bit Core 2 Duo (intel); javac 1.5.0_16

Wen can reproduce the issue on his Mac notebook too (both full version of NB 6.5 RC2 and
NB 6.5 RC2 PHP), but with a different version of jdk:
OS X 10.5.5; 64 bit Core 2 Duo (intel); javac 1.6.0_07

Wen's steps:
------------
if I am pointing to Java 1.6 (java -version : "1.6.0_07"), the IDE will not run.

switching to Java 1.5 (java -version :"1.5.0_16") It works fine.  Also, I tried specifying the
JDK home in the netbeans.conf file (changing it to 1.5 or 1.6 does not seem to affect start up
at all).

So it looks like:
- either I have a corrupt version of 1.6 installed, or there is something broken with NB on 
Mac on Java1.6

To reproduce:
check java -version (see if it's 1.6.0_07)  (this is the latest Java update for Mac)
install NetBeans 6.5rc2
start IDE 
IDE will not run

Looks like the duplicate of 146119. See comments and workaround there...

This is not the same as issue 146119. It only happened with 64-bits Mac machine. 
See issue 152916.
