Description ent38 2013-06-14 21:07:08 UTC

[ BUILD # : 201306132201 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_21 ]

Can't start NetBeans after having installed a new module or installed 
updates (I tested with JUnit module and NB API documentation modules).
When the module is downloaded and NetBeans restarting, I get an error 
dialog: "Cannot find Java 1.7 or higher.". 
I can click on the "OK" button but the error dialog always reappears.
I have kill the netbeans64.exe process and try to start NetBeans again.
After 2 tentatives (i.e. 3 restarts and 2 process kills), NetBeans finally 
installs modules and starts normally.

On Windows 7 64-bit, JDK7u21 64-bit, ZIP distribution of NetBeans. I've tried 
the Java SE, Java EE and Full ZIP packages.

Precision: it happens with ZIP bundles only. The Windows Installer version works well.

Comment 6 Jiri Rechtacek 2013-06-28 12:23:22 UTC

I guess it was fixed together with issue 229060. Please, could you reproduce it again in next build of 7.4 beta (or latest Development build)? Thanks

Comment 7 ent38 2013-06-28 18:59:00 UTC

Tested with latest devbuild (201306272300): it works fine.
Thx!
