Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.2 RC1 (Build 201206141830) Java: 1.7.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.0-b21 System: Linux version 3.2.0-24-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) see screenshot there is no javaFX platform anywhere on the machine. This message is highly confusing, because it suggests something is going on on the background, but in reality nothing happens...
