Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2014-08-12 13:55:57 UTC 
Isn't this regression of #239959?
Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2014-08-12 15:27:39 UTC 
Is there JavaFX installed in your JDK? It would be:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\jre\lib\jfxrt.jar
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2014-08-12 16:54:24 UTC 
I did not manage to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04.
Unzipped both netbeans-8.0.1rc1-201408102300.zip and netbeans-8.0.1rc1-201408102300-javase.zip works fine for me on jdk1.7.0_67 and netbeans-8.0.1rc1-javase-linux.sh installed on jdk1.8.0_20-b23 starts up fine when run with --jdkhome /mnt/SSD180/JDK/jdk1.7.0_67

Do you do an import from an older existing user directory?

Will test on Windows later on...
Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2014-08-12 17:05:35 UTC 
I've checked issue #239959 on Ubuntu using these steps:
1.) Run NetBeans with a fresh userdir on JDK8
2.) Close NetBeans
3.) Run NetBeans (with userdir initialized in step 1) on JDK7
And I did not encounter a problem in NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 RC1 (Build 201408102300)
Comment 8 Lou Dasaro 2014-08-12 18:03:08 UTC 
Yes, it all comes back to me now... kicking myself.

You must run NetBeans once to initialize userdir and cachedir. Then you can run with a prior JDK.

The instructions for the test case (which I blindly followed) need to be changed because they specified a clean userdir and cachedir, which WONT work and I should know better! 

I wrote up and assigned myself bug 246413 and am closing this as a duplicate of bug 239959 which has been Fixed.
