Jstack dump/log

When starting NB it hangs forever. Deleting /Users/ajg/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/8.1 will allow me to start NB. I have not been able to track down to which setting is causing the issue. However, the stack trace does show 2 subversion threads waiting on the same object. JConsole deadlock detection says there is none, but this looks like deadlock to my eyes. Attached are my stack trace and messages.log.

I don't see any deadlock, not even in subversion threads. The fact that two threads are waiting for the same lock does not mean there is a deadlock.
AWT is in RUNNABLE state:

Maybe an issue with JDK on MacOS

Yes, the beach ball was spinning, but otherwise the UI was unresponsive. As to OS X, there may well be a problem there. After one such incident I upgrade from jdk 1.8.0_66 to 1.8.0_92 and NB strated without issue. But that only relieved the issue for less than a day.
