The application freezes on startup when running the runidew executable. When I ran the runide executable from the command line, this is the exception that was thrown and printed to the console: -- System Info ---------------------------------------------------------------- Product Version = NetBeans IDE, Release 3.3 Beta 3 (Build 200111021545) IDE Versioning = IDE/1 spec=1.43 impl=200111021545 Operating System = Windows 2000 version 5.0 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.3.1_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.3.1_01; Sun Mic rosystems Inc.

this is extremely strange (corrupted file somewhere?). Please look inside the core.jar file to see if the class file NbSAXParserFactoryImpl.class is there or not. Thanks
the SAX parser factory is installed by calling org.netbeans.core.xml.NbSAXParserFactoryImpl.install() which means by the time the exception is thrown the class org.netbeans.core.xml.NbSAXParserFactoryImpl has already been successfully loaded and init'ed. I cannot explain why ClassNotFoundException can happen then. Reuben Cleetus, anything suspicious on your system?
Comment from reuben (please do not simply reply at the issue email - go to the web and enter your comments - unless your feedback can be missed - thanks): I can't think of anything suspicious. Here's what I have: * AMD Athlaon 1.4 GHz, 768 MB RAM, Windows 2000 Pro * JDK - 1.3.1_01 * Netbeans - 3.2.1 installed in c:\Netbeans * Netbeans 3.3 installed in c:\Netbeans33 I tried un-installing Netbeans 3.2.1 and then Installing Netbeans 3.3 Beta 3 (thinking it was a problem of the two versions co-existing). Same problem. I was able to then re-install Netbeans 3.2.1 and work with it again successfully. Thanks, Reuben.
please look at <jdkhome>\jre\lib\ext. Do you see any jar file there?
the symptom of this issue looks very much the same as of #17358 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17358 ***
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
