Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2004-04-09 11:10:52 UTC 
Hi,
   from the console output I can see that there is no look and feel
class specified (it should be after the "-ui" command line option). So
it seems to me like problem with the MacOS launcher. Reassinging to core.

Reproduced this error with RC3 (OS X 10.3.3, Java 1.4.2_04-122).

Choosing option "Default" = no -ui parameter,
"Aqua" adds ... "-ui", "apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel", ...
"Metal" adds ... "-ui", ... (with no value for this parameter)

First two launch NB successfully, third does not.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2004-04-09 16:42:27 UTC 
Reassigne to our L&F / Mac expert ;)

Tim, please look at this ...
Comment 4 _ tboudreau 2004-04-09 17:18:50 UTC 
Passing to Tomas - launcher issue.  Probably it's expecting Metal to still be the default 
look and feel, and so doing nothing when that is requested;  Aqua is now the default.
Comment 5 Tomas Hurka 2004-04-15 12:30:30 UTC 
You are right. I will fix it. In meantime you can use following workaround:
Set 'Look & Feel' combo to 'Default' and add
-ui javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
to 'Extra parameters' in Expert tab

Lowering priority since there is an easy workaround.

Fixed in trunk.
