I couldn't extract report 768117 and rest two (748253, 754585) are from same user. It seems Lookup filled Perm Memory.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Havlin 2015-07-30 12:26:58 UTC 
I'm sorry, I have no idea what could be wrong.

Reassigning to platform/Module System.
Tomas, can you please evaluate?
Thank you.
Comment 4 Tomas Hurka 2015-07-30 13:11:54 UTC 
None of the reports have:
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m
specified as command line option. Since all reports are from JDK 7, it means that default 96M PermSize is used and this causes OOME: PermSize.

For some reason launcher thinks that netbeans is running on JDK 8 and it did not append -XX:MaxPermSize=384m command line option. Note also that it happens only on Windows.
Comment 5 Tomas Hurka 2015-07-30 13:12:38 UTC 
Reassigning to platform/launcher.
Comment 6 Libor Fischmeistr 2015-07-30 13:14:10 UTC 
Without launcher log we cannot do anything...

To get launcher log please run NetBeans with --trace option:
netbeans.exe --trace launcher.log

Then please attach the log and reopen.

Thanks
Comment 7 Jaroslav Havlin 2015-07-31 11:17:19 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this bug. When I start NetBeans  on Windows 7 64bit with JDK 7u51, IDE Log contains "-XX:MaxPermSize=384m". I tried both netbeans.exe and netbeans64.exe.

Maybe there is some problem with JDK installation.

Reporters, can you please try explicitly setting JDK home in netbeans.conf?
(netbeans_jdkhome, see http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqNetbeansConf)
Thank you.
