Screen shot of error dialog

NetBeans 8.0 build 201402200001

On first launch asked if I wanted to import my 7.4 settings.
I clicked "Yes"

Then an error dialog appeared:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/drc/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.import (No such file or directory)


There is an OK button on that error dialog, but pressing it does nothing.  The launch is stuck.

Not sure why the netbeans.import file cannot be located in your case. It should be under install dir and not userdir. But with the fix at least there is no lock. Settings will not be imported in this case. But you can always do that from the Options dialog once the ide is up and running. Please try a latest build and reopen if it still is a problem for you. Thank you for reporting
