Description mhuang 2008-12-14 08:37:26 UTC 
Install NB promoted installer #60 on Mac 10.4.11 and 10.5.5.
After installation, launch NetBeans failed. 
At the beginning, NetBeans icon is jumping from the deck for a few times, and then disappears.

We need to test JavaFX samples (SDK 1.0.1 b02) using the NetBeans (which has SDK 1.0.1 b02 bundled).
Please fix this problem A.S.A.P.

The workaround is removing the NB userdir under administrator before the NB launching.

> sudo rm -rf .netbeans/6.5
Comment 3 Adam Sotona 2008-12-15 09:47:32 UTC 
Hi,

That should be fixed in the recent build (starting with 62).
