Hi, On Snow Leopard, Netbeans closes unexpectedly, seemingly randomly, but often (like every half hour). See the following forum topic for others experiencing similar problems: http://forums.netbeans.org/topic16887.html I have attached the OSX error log and the Netbeans message log. It is a proper crash, not a Java exception.

netbeans standard distribution include JNA library for execution of native code. this library may cause JVM crashes if used improperly. try disabling this library to see if it helps. unfortunately the library isn't visible in plugin manager so you need to remove <netbeans dir>/platform11/modules/org-netbeans-libs-jna.jar file manually
Thanks, I will try it!
Didn't work unfortunately - I deleted the file, launched Netbeans and 10 minutes later it crashed.
thanks for the info but i don't think there's much we can do on netbeans' side to fix this. regular java code shouldn't crash JVM, it's probably a bug in apple's JDK do you have any third-party plugins installed? does it still crash even after disabling/removing them?
forgot to mention that you should start netbeans with a clean user dir after deleting the jar file mentioned above. netbeans builds a cache of all modules so it might be still hitting the cached version. can you try again pls?
Hi there, I have tried again with a clean user directory, and still experienced the crashes. Snow Leopard includes Java 1.6 by default, so I tried installing Java 1.5 and running Netbeans in 32 bit mode, Java 1.5. It still crashes even with these settings. Thanks.
Everyone at my work has netbeans and Mac OS X and has the same issue. We really love netbeans but having it randomly crash frequently really is making it hard to stick with (5 times on Friday, which may be a record for me). We use it for PHP and Java. I have tried switching JVM's to the older as well. That didn't help. A guy at my work is trying the JNI stuff, so I'll see if that works before I go further. I remember reporting a bug and being told it was the JVM as well. I know Apple kind of sucks with their java support, but why is Netbeans the only java app that seems to show this kind of behaivor. I use aqua for database stuff, and a few other java apps as well. Only Netbeans crashes all the time like this.
Closing as dup of issue 173926. I will put you on CC of that bug. Let's continue discussion there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 173926 ***
