I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) on a 2GHz Intel MacBook with a Core2Duo processor. I installed NetBeans 6.0 the day it was released. After a week or so of use I saw the update icon at the bottom of the screen. After the patch, neither of the rails apps that had been running fine before hand would run. The output window had the following message in it when I tried to run either rails app from within NetBeans using WEBrick. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jruby/Main

Hi Javajini, I just tried it myself - ran stock NetBeans 6.0, then installed patch 1, restart the IDE and ran my Rails app - it worked. My plugin manager looks different than yours - I'm not sure why all those entries in the plugin list are grayed out. What does that mean? Jiri? In my own plugin manager I have a single item like that - "Platform", which is gray - I can't activate it, deactivate it or see why it's grayed out. One quick thing you can try is to run NetBeans 6.0 with --userdir /tmp/foo or C:\nonexistent or something like that (--userdir some-nonexistent-path) which will run "stock" NetBeans (the patch sits in your user directory). You can then try updating again and see if that helps. If it does, wipe out your real user directory (its location is listed in the About box). Maybe something failed during patch application? Note - you need to have the "JRuby and Rails" distribution installed.
Also works fine for me. If this still happens for you, can you please also attach the log file? (View -> IDE Log File, paste it to a text file and add this text file as an attachment to the issue.) Thanks.
I heard back from Kellie a while back via direct e-mail: "Thanks for the help. I deleted the ~/.netbeans directory and ran NetBeans again and it works fine. I'm not sure what got hosed but that got me back in business. I'm pretty new to NetBeans so I don't know how to close out the issue. If I need to do anything, please just let me know.". So closing the issue. Thanks for the report!
