out put from trying to install NetBeans 7.2.1

I tried to install NetBeans 7.2.1 on my Kubuntu machine running Kubuntu 12.10.
I get the following error:

java.awt.HeadlessException thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

I have Open JDK 1.7.0_09 on my machine.

Can I get some assistance with this?

Thanks you!!

Stephen

OpenJDK under certain circumstances is not the right Java for NB installer. Install the official Oracle Java and provide its location via the --javahome parameter (see also http://forums.netbeans.org/ptopic38714.html)
