I am receiving a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Stzing exception when starting the latest 6.0 Dev build (2006-09-25)
Created attachment 34589 [details] messages.log with the exception
Correction: it was the dev-build from 2006-09-26, the one from 25th is working fine
Weird. Perhaps a corrupted IDE installation. Try a fresh build on a fresh userdir.
I did try it with a clean userdir. It only went away when I switched to a different daily build. But shouldn't the reference to the strange "Stzing" class be somewhere (I guess it's in a Class.forName("") or something similar, so it isn't seen by the compiler)
5.0u2 means 6.0dev for apisupport. Probably org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-project.jar is corrupted. Please try download dev-build. I should help.
The one from 2006-09-29 is working fine. I simply assumed that there was a type somewhere in the code...
Calls to Class.forName(....) will produce a ClassNotFoundException, a checked exception indicating a logic error. A NoClassDefFoundError is an error since it usually means corrupted bytecode that could not have been produced by the compiler, or some .class files were deleted, or a ClassLoader was buggy.
