Description _ hildo 2006-10-26 00:42:13 UTC 
I downloaded the m4 release of NetBeans 6.0 for Solaris and installed using the
installer (as I have for all previous releases).  When I execute the netbeans
executable, I get the following error

ehillman@wallaby:/ct/ctapp/netbeans-6.0m4/bin> ./netbeans

My m3 installation still works fine.

I suffer the same issue in Linux (opensuse 10.1, jdk 1.5 update 9), milestone 3
still works for me too.

Error on start-up:

Comment 2 _ hildo 2006-10-26 02:04:50 UTC 
Even though the OS setting for this ticket has changed to "All", the install of
the m4 release on my Windows XP box works.  It does seem to occur on my Solaris
9 environment and a Linux env.

For the record, my Java details on Solaris

java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode)

Comment 4 _ hildo 2006-11-01 22:25:01 UTC 
As indicated by the other issue, I was able to work around this by using a later
JDK on my Solaris box.

I installed JDK 1.5_09, then re-installed the NetBeans-6.0-m4 release.  The IDE
was able to successfully start once this was done.

Thanks for all the help!
