You must start IDE with JDK 1.5 ie. change default JDK to 1.5. Better handling
of this case should be already in NB startup code but I do not know status.
Passing to core.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2006-04-25 09:21:52 UTC 
Jara, 
I think it has been already solved , see issue 74498. Could you please try it
again with latest build? 
Thanks in advance.
Comment 3 Jan Horvath 2006-04-25 09:31:29 UTC 
I cannot reproduce it, in the same build on MacOSX 10.4.6/PPC
Comment 4 Jaromir Uhrik 2006-04-25 09:55:16 UTC 
I am very sorry. Now I know what is the problem. The problem with icon start is
clear. The second thing is that it didn't start from console. I wrote
"./netbeans -userdir  -jdkhome $JDK150" to the console. My mistake that I didn't
delete "-userdir" part of this command. It returned the same error as the start
from icon  because of that "-userdir" substring. Sorry again - closing this issue.
Comment 5 Jaromir Uhrik 2006-08-16 15:32:02 UTC 
I am closing this issue.
Comment 6 Storyteller 2012-06-06 18:18:25 UTC 
I didn't really get any error messages; the Netbeans IDE just refused to start when I clicked on the icon. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it didn't help.

Please file a separate one, this was originaly reported from MacOS and releated to the reported exception. File a new issue, provide the version of NetBeans you're using. Also try to start from shell and attach the output in the issue. Thanks
