If you install python support by downloading the NBMs and installing in NB6.5 via tools->plugins. Now python project is an option for a new project but you are unable to actually create one, exception is thrown. java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/Users/nshanny/.netbeans/6.5beta/jython-2.5/bin/jython" (in directory "/Users/nshanny/.netbeans/6.5beta"): error=13 See exception report: http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/stacktrace.do?id=92042
Created attachment 71396 [details] Exception throwen in Netbeans.
The bug here is that the Update client does not preserve execute permissions on bits. If you install Jythan via the plugin center, none of the scripts in Jythin/bin will be executable. For JRuby I added a workaround for this: My module restored method goes and chmods everything executable. See ruby.platform's RubyInstallation.getInstance().ensureExecutable(); (which is called from ruby.project's module installer.)
The reason is wont create a project is that it needs a platform. it cannot register the bundled jython because the nbm turns off execution.
The platform manager was truncating part of the path to enable execution
