Description rbracko 2016-02-04 11:57:54 UTC

My development IDE is NetBeans 7.4, running on Windows 7 64bit. IDE is launched by netbeans64.exe.

Inside IDE, I try to run/debug some NB platform module which has following properties: Java Platform = JDK 1.7 (32bit); NetBeans Platform = NetBeans IDE 6.8

The output window shows normal progress and ends with following lines:
...
netbeans:
Generating information for Auto Update...
run:
run.run:

However, there is no splash screen of target IDE and nothing happens. More over, cancellation of the run/debug task is not possible.

On the other hand, if the development IDE is launched by netbeans.exe (instead of netbeans64.exe), everything works fine.
