On Mac OS X (10.3.3, latest JVM: 1.42_03). netbeans 3.6 has a Quit Netbeans item under the Netbeans menu and an Exit menu item under the File menu. Apparently to exit cleanly from the IDE, and insure an orderly re-start of netbeans, you should use the Exit item. If you use the Quit item, the netbeans IDE does shutdown but the next time you startup, you get a netbeans alert dialog saying that netbeans appears to be running already and to continue only if you are sure that this is not the case. It seems that the special Mac OS Quit option needs to have code added so that the cleanup done when the user selects Exit is also done when user selects Quit Netbeans. It would be better if the Exit option was removed entirely from the File menu items and the Quit option was the only way to quit (under OS X) and it worked properly.
Reassign to core.
I think it's duplicate of issue 39780,.... *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 39780 ***
Confirmed. If you downloaded the OS X installer in the first day or two after the release, you will see this behavior. Solution is to redownload the OS X installer and use it. Now the quit and exit menu choices will work identically with no nastygrams on restart. Quit from the dock or Cmd-Q works, too. Travis
