Description mschorer 2003-03-26 15:28:30 UTC
When I call netbeans with the following java option

"-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.apple.mrj.swing.MacLookAndFeel"

then the IDE starts up and displays the splash panel. It loads all modules but then
freezes when displaying the message "Initializing Main Window"

Normally it should come up with MAC Native L&F
Comment 1 _ ttran 2003-03-27 08:28:47 UTC
This is actually not about setting L&F but rather a case of deadlock.
 Please produce a thread dump (in the console window) and attach it
here.  It's also important for us to know the JDK version you are
using (just attach the <userdir>/system/ide.log here, all the info is
in the log file)

thurka: any insights into this problem?
Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2003-03-28 10:57:46 UTC
Please use 
-ui com.apple.mrj.swing.MacLookAndFeel 
instead of -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.apple.mrj.swing.MacLookAndFeel See Mac OS X Howto page at http://www.netbeans.org/ide/support/mac.html for more details.

Closing as works-for-me, until more information is available. 
Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2003-07-31 10:16:16 UTC
Without new informations for long time - verifying.
