Description ahagopian 2005-09-27 15:39:10 UTC
[ BUILD # : 200509151455 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ]

I installed the latest qubild 200509151455 (this is also the first time i'm trying to run a 5.0 build) I tried to start netbeans and get a java.net.UnknownHostException (see stack trace below).

So in my /etc/hosts file i added for 127.0.0.1 spaceball2.localhost and then I was at least able to get farther but I don't think if netbeans can't resolve the machine's name it should keep netbeans from property starting.

java.net.UnknownHostException: spaceball2.localhost: spaceball2.localhost
