This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I generally install NetBeans to C:\Program Files\NetBeans and everything usually works, however I just downloaded the RC1 and tried writing a JSP and executing it. It sat there for a while when trying to launch tomcat, so finally I just canceled the process. After I did this, the output window showed the ClassNotFoundException because the spaces in the install directory. Many folks will say, "just put it in C:\netbeans", but Netbeans has always worked fine under Program Files and I think it should continue to do so with 3.3.
Fixed. Quotes enclose whole string with classpaths after -cp switch.
Verified in NetBeans dev. build 200302190100 on Win2K
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
