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.
In the trunk snapshot dated 200311131900 there is an incorrect argument in bin/ide.cfg. The -J-ea flag will make the JVM from IBM stop, resulting in netbeans not starting up.
Jesse, Petr please look at it.
Is the JDK 1.4-class? Does it support assertions?
It is jsdk 1.4.1. How may I check if it does support assertions?
Read the documentation for the J2SDK! Sun's SDK uses -ea to turn on assertions, the new language feature in 1.4. If the IBM SDK uses a different switch, we need to know what it is. Need to see console output from NetBeans to see what is going on.
Can't fix the problem w/o additional info. Please reopen with more info.
Sorry for the long delay on giving more informations. I just checked the problem against the latest build and I am not able to reproduce it.
