startup module error
I uninstalled the IDE and installed the latest version 7.0.1 and I'm getting a similar error... (see attachement).
I deleted the old netbeans install directory prior to installing 7.0.1... is this coming from the old ".netbeans*" settings directory?

7.0.1 still errors after updating
From w/ in the new Netbeans 7.0.1 install I updated again and am getting a bunch of errors still.
(see attachement)
Not sure, but this might be related to bug 196844. This is not 7.0.1 issue. I unzipped fresh 7.0.1 [1], launched it with empty userdir and installing Git plugin worked fine. I was also able to install 7.0, upgrade to 7.0.1 and then install Git plugin. [1] http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/7.0.1/final/zip/netbeans-7.0.1-201107282000-ml.zip The most important thing is to always clear your userdir (or use a new one) before you launch the IDE for the first time, because this is where updates are downloaded to and settings are stored etc. Changing to 7.1 because you used development build. For more information about using an alternate userdir see here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqAlternateUserdir After uninstalling, deleting the install directory, deleting all of the ".netbeans" related directories, then reinstalling it is working again. ... that was a pain though. Thanks for the reply. OK, thanks for your quick update. Uninstallation is not necessary, just delete two directories (e.g. ~/netbeans7.0.1 and ~/.netbeans/7.0) plus icon on your desktop and it's gone. Then install from scratch. Closing as worksforme. |
