Description behrangsa 2009-04-19 16:39:02 UTC 
When NetBeans is running (with Java 1.6) and I restart/shutdown OS X Leopard 10.5.6, OS X cancels the restart/shutdown process and shows a dialog box 
with this message "The application NetBeans canceled restart."
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2009-04-20 09:57:16 UTC 
i've reproduce the problem but i suspect it's caused by netbeans taking too long to quit. because netbeans does quit
even though the message is displayed. i'm not sure there's much we can do about this
Comment 2 behrangsa 2009-04-20 21:12:44 UTC 
I think there should be a way to fix this. Other Java IDEs (IDEA and Eclipse) do not have this problem on OS X.
Comment 3 simpatico 2011-06-20 16:28:54 UTC 
this occurs also to NetBeans Platform applications and is very user-unfriendly.
Comment 4 andyimt 2012-08-31 13:36:59 UTC 
Same situation here with Netbeans 7.2 on OS X 10.8.1.  It doesn't seem like the app is taking too long to quit, as I receive the message almost instantaneously.  (Attached screenshot)

It even happens if there are no projects / files open at all.  I suspect it's an issue with handling the close event itself.
