Upon launching NetBeans, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError was thrown. Closing NetBeans 3.5 RC3 caused Windows 2000 to reboot.
Created attachment 10546 [details] ide.log
It seems these are 2 problems in one report: 1.OutOfMemory: I cannot say what could casue this. Try to increase maximum heap size in ide.cfg - parameter -J-Xmx default is 96m: -J-Xms64m -J-Xmx128m 2.Second problem crash is probably caused by graphics driver. Please try to upgrade your graphics driver or use -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true. It is known problem with JDK 1.4.1 on Windows.
In JDK 1.4.1_02 problem with crashing should be solved.
The system is running JDK 1.4.1_02 and the ATI Radeon graphic card has the latest driver update. I noticed that, before the video driver update, the same system had consistently froze during the middle of NetBeans running; and this problem happened so frequently that it made impossible to use NetBeans. The driver update did improve by eliminating the system freeze problem. I reverted to NetBeans 3.5 Beta; that eliminated the OutOfMemory problem. However, it still reboots system upon closing NetBeans.
Please try command line switch -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true as mentioned above. You can add it to ide.cfg. It was reported it solved such crash of OS.
closing.
