Description tamtam 2004-11-09 21:30:17 UTC 
When ever I try to open the Quick Start Guide on 
the welcome page of the IDE I get a 
java.lang.IllegalStateException message. The 
message maybe due to the fact I have both 
Internet Explorer and Netscape on my PC, but 
I.E. is the default browser.
This occurs when ever I have to launch any html 
file in the IDE, not just on the welcome page.

Tamtam - which version of NetBeans are you using ?  What OS, and what
JVM are you using ?  Is "java.lang.IllegalStateException" the complete
error msg you see, or is there more detail ?  Pls provide as much info
as possible to help ppl track down the problem.

I searched the nbusers list and found this similar sounding problem :
http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=842805&listName=nbusers
is that what you are seeing ?

Re-assigning to the IDE componenent - IDE team, pls reassign as
necessary, thanks.

Tamtam replies, via email :

> Okay, version of NetBeans was 4.0 Beta2. OS is WinXP Pro. How do I
find out JVM I am using.

If you're not sure, probalby the best way is to look in the ide.log
file.  From http://qa.netbeans.org/bugzilla/reportbug.html :

"The file can be found in your user directory under {userdir}/system/
(the actual location of userdir can be found from Help | About).
ide.log contains logged information from recent runs of the IDE
including the info about the actual system, JDK version,  ... The log
file can be big and although it's a textual file, you should never try
to copy its content into the Description field. Attach it to the issue
instead."

You could also just copy-paste the relevant 10 lines or so into the
description field.

> This is exactly what I am seeing, or was seeing because I removed 
> NetBeans 4.0 Beta 2 and installed
> NetBeans 3.6. I like 3.6 better ( I had used it before on a 
> different PC ), as it is easier to use for a newbie like myself. 

OK, in that case I'll close this as a duplicate of the issue mentioned
in that nbusers thread.

Thanks for the report.
