Comment 1 Alexander Simon 2014-05-13 14:07:34 UTC 
It seems script uses "gawk" command line syntax instead of "awk".
Comment 2 Alexander Simon 2014-05-13 14:16:58 UTC 
regression after fixing bug #243569

> regression after fixing bug #243569

Yes that's right. Unfortunately that fix was not tested on Solaris...
Comment 4 Alexander Simon 2014-05-13 14:50:00 UTC 
Also script miss -XX:MaxPermSize=384m for java 1.7.
It results in OOM.
(Probably it is consequence of the awk error)
Comment 5 Vladimir Voskresensky 2014-05-14 06:04:12 UTC 
Please, fix this, because now NB crashes on Solaris with PermGen OOM
Comment 6 Libor Fischmeistr 2014-05-14 06:11:04 UTC 
I'm going to fix it immediately.

The workaround should work for now. Run netbeans with -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=384m arguments.
