Description maxoudela 2016-06-06 10:00:24 UTC

I have installed Netbeans and updated all my plugins. Right after doing that, when I want to start Netbeans, nothing happens.

If I start it with the command line, I have 

Unknown option -L-XX:MaxPermSize=256m 

shown in the CLI..

Only work-around is to uninstall Netbeans et re-install it. Thing is I cannot update my plugins or make my IDE up to date because I don't which of these updates break the IDE..

Upgrading to Netbeans 8.2 resolves the issue.

The option should be '-J-XX:MaxPermSize=256m' - probably misconfigured in netbeans.conf file (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqNetbeansConf).
