This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
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
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?
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.
Without new informations for long time - verifying.
