I just downloaded enterprise pack installer from netbeans.org,
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php?rs=11&p=6
and found out that the entpack build version there is 061212_1, much later than
the one you have (061020).  Where did you get this entpack binaries?.

Can you provide more details, like did you have previous beta version of entpack
installed?  Did the exception dialog details show NoClassDefFoundError or some
other exception?

(BTW, the downloaded version 061212_1, also work fine with my existing NB 5.5
build 200610171010).
Comment 6 Nam Nguyen 2007-01-16 20:58:43 UTC 
Also, whether the NoClassDefFoundError happen if you start the IDE with a clean
user directory (add ' -userdir <some clean temp folder>' to the start command).

Also, please help provide more details like exact JDK version you are using, and
whether the exception happen consistently.  The exception is very primary and
serious, yet none of our engineers or users report it so far.  So, please add
any details that you think could help us reproduce the behaviour.  Thanks.

Karthik notes that JDK 6.0 could be a factor, based on this bug:

Close for now.  Please reopen with requested details if you still see the problem.
Comment 9 tonybeckham 2007-03-29 21:12:28 UTC 
Using Hula build 200703271800 or 5.5.1 Beta builds I cannot reproduce this
either.  Changing resolved worksforme to VERIFIED.
