I may execute without problems the same classes
from the command line.

I use netbeans on a powerpc machine, using IBM JVM
1.4.1 and Linux Debian Sarge.
Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2005-02-03 23:00:26 UTC 
Please try running with temporaly disabled authentication (using
"xhost +" to disable and "xhost -" to reenable authentication.
There may be problem with passing XAUTHORITY variable through exec(),
but I'm not aware of any such problem known.

And, of course, try running NB4.0
Comment 2 eppesuigoccas 2005-02-04 13:03:17 UTC 
I have my $DISPLAY running with authentication enabled. I did try to
run the application after executing 'xhost -' but I got the same
error. (I really cannot figure why)
Comment 3 Petr Nejedly 2005-02-07 14:39:38 UTC 
Bad news. Unsupported platform and we can hardly simulate your setup
here. Closing as WONTFIX.
If you manage to find out what's wrong, please reopen with details, or
better yet, with a patch.
