Comment 1 Sergey Grinev 2008-09-21 01:49:02 UTC 
The reason are latest changes to LocalNativeExecutor: ProcessBuilder can't run Windows "start" commands because there is
no associated executable.

N.B.: For some reason "Output Window" mode doesn't work too, which can be another issue.
Comment 2 Alexander Simon 2008-09-22 09:44:11 UTC 
Command "start args" equals "cmd.exe /c start args".
Comment 3 Alexander Simon 2008-09-22 09:47:22 UTC 
So following hack in LocalNativeExecution.exec() works:
--------------------------
        // copy the call string
        String[] call= null;
        if (processName.equals("start")) {
            call = new String[args.length + 3];
            call[0] = "cmd.exe";
            call[1] = "/c";
            call[2] = "start";
            System.arraycopy(args, 0, call, 3, args.length);
        } else {
            call = new String[args.length + 1];
            call[0] = processName;
            System.arraycopy(args, 0, call, 1, args.length);
        }
--------------------------
Comment 4 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-22 11:11:50 UTC 
I removed stdouterr.sh and .bat scripts from the run process, that's why we can no longer execute cmd and shell commands.
Comment 5 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-22 18:45:57 UTC 
external terminal fixed in:
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/792878bd2414
however the problem with output window still remains.
On windows we do not know the full name of the executable (with .exe)
Comment 6 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-23 13:37:47 UTC 
fixed with the changesets:
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/792878bd2414
