Description rthomson83 2011-08-18 18:16:33 UTC 
The installer reports that it cannot find the java 6 framework on my mac running osx lion. I definitely have java 6 se installed and can verify that with the terminal commands. The prerequisite must need to look in a different place in Lion?
Comment 1 Yulia Novozhilova 2011-08-19 11:44:04 UTC 
How did you install the java 6? Did you install java 6 for Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 ?

Please also attach here the output of the following commands:
> ls -la /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents
> ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/

I installed the developer preview from apple. This could be what is causing the issue.

The output from thjs terminal as requested was:

Comment 3 Yulia Novozhilova 2011-08-22 10:03:51 UTC 
After a proper Java 6 installation on Lion the folder "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents" should exist.

Since OS X Lion does not provide a Java runtime by default, please download and
install Java for OS X Lion before installing NetBeans.
