I downloaded nb5.0. Then ran the module update, selected all features and the Jindent module. Everything was fine until once the update was complete, netbeans would not launch. Here is the console log entry: RegisterProcess failed (error = -2805) /Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/NetBeans/bin/../platform6/lib/nbexec: line 1: 12557 Abort trap "/Library/Java/Home/bin/java" -classpath "/Applications/NetBeans.app/ Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform6/lib/boot.jar:/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/ Resources/NetBeans/platform6/lib/org-openide-modules.jar:/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/ Resources/NetBeans/platform6/lib/org-openide-util.jar:/Library/Java/Home/lib/dt.jar:/Applications/ NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform6/modules/ext/updater.jar" - Dnetbeans.system_http_proxy="DIRECT" -Dnetbeans.dirs=":/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/ MacOS/../Resources/NetBeans/bin/../nb5.0:/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS/../ Resources/NetBeans/bin/../ide6:/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/NetBeans/ bin/../enterprise2:/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/NetBeans/bin/../ harness" -Dnetbeans.home="/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform6" "- Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name=NetBeans" "-Xdock:name=NetBeans" "- Xdock:icon=/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/NetBeans/bin/../nb5.0/ netbeans.icns" "-Dnetbeans.importclass=org.netbeans.upgrade.AutoUpgrade" "- Dnetbeans.accept_license_class=org.netbeans.license.AcceptLicense" "-Xms32m" "-Xmx128m" "- XX:PermSize=32m" "-XX:MaxPermSize=96m" "-Xverify:none" "-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true" - Dnetbeans.user="/Users/jboetje/.netbeans/5.0" org.netbeans.updater.UpdaterFrame --userdir "/ Users/jboetje/.netbeans/5.0" "--branding" "nb" "-psn_0_174718977" Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_174718977 Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_176160769 2006-05-06 20:44:58.423 java[12620] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0xfe03, name = 'java.ServiceProvider' See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes. 2006-05-06 20:44:58.425 java[12620] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (java.ServiceProvider) Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_176160769 Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_176291841 Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_176422913 2006-05-06 21:11:48.135 SyndicationAgent[12753] WARNING: BestCalendarDateFromString - can't interpret: 'Sun, May 00:52:07 7 GMT' Ignored unknown option: -psn_0_176816129
I found the proximate problem. After the update process ran, it closed the window, but left the process running. The new second netbeans process was unable to access a resource in use by the other process and died. When I killed the update process, netbeans started correctly and registered the new and updated modules.
OK, I'll change this to INVALID. If you feel like there is something to be fixed on our side, please reopen, thanks.
I'd suggest that netbeans check to see if there's an open instance of the updater and put up the regular "You're running another instance of Netbeans...." warning. It seems that the updater has a different path / setup to indicate that it's runnning.
