Description Alexander Pepin 2009-04-01 13:28:01 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
- login as 'root' (or use 'sudo') and install Netbeans
- create any application (e.g. Welcome)
- run application
Result: Output window prints "dorun.sh: Permission denied"
Comment 1 Andrew Krasny 2009-04-01 13:35:37 UTC 
It is a problem with files permissions. 


I would agree that this is a show stopped for M3. Still 2 workarounds exist - 
1 - run IDE as root (so permissions will be changed at runtime)
2 - do #chmod -R a+x dlight1/bin/ (as root)

fix is ready - build.xml changed to make chmod on required files.
