java.lang.StackOverflowError in startup appears to be while scanning class paths.
Created attachment 22309 [details] message.log showing exceptions
It seems like the StackOverFlowError rises during the scanning of classpath, or so... Do you have any special settings or have you changed your netbeans.conf file ? If I can ask, what is the size of your RAM ? Thanks in advance.
Comments from johnafriedman: ----- 12MB RAM I have not made changes to netbeans.conf but I can not find it to send to you. I have searched in the default installation directory: C:/Documents and Settings/.../.netbeans and all sub-directories. ============================= Ok, I think we've found it, I know it's not such great "fix" but you have to increase your RAM as you can find in Release notes for NB4.1 : http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/41/relnotes.html#SystemRequirements the minimum HW configuration for Windows is: * Processor: 500 MHz Intel Pentium III workstation or equivalent * Memory: 384 megabytes * Disk space: 125 megabytes of free disk space I'm sorry but we can do nothing on this issue.
Sorry the 5 in 512 didn't make it through somehow. I have 512MB RAM. 30GB HD free, 1.5 GHz cpu.
Looks to me like a problem in Java support. The first problem reported in log is non-existing ImpToolSettings class referenced from JavaSettings. Did you imported settings from an older version? The next errors come from MDR scanning. Passing for evaluation.
I did import older settings. Updated to jdk1.5.0_03 from j2sdk1.4.2_04. Seems to have resolved the issue.
