NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200701101900) 1.6.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-b105 Linux version 2.6.17-10-generic running on i386 en_US (nb); UTF-8 I'm unable to reproduce it in Vista. steps to reproduce: - run IDE (I've tried it even with clean user dir) - click on Quick Start Guides on Welcome screen - java.io.Exception should occur (see attachment)
Created attachment 37265 [details] java.io.IOException
passing to standa, welcome screen owner.
i don't think this is a welcome screen bug - passing to extbrowser for evaluation
This issue is caused by a problem in JVM 6.0. We might want to work it around by not using Desktop.browse() on Linux See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6490730
pchytil: were you using KDE? can you try to reproduce it with another window manager?
Reproducible on Solaris boxes too when the System Proxy is not setup and the <System Web Browser> is set up as Nb default browser. to reproduce: ------------- 1) choose 'View > Web Browser' or a item from 'Help > Tutorials' ERROR: IDE Throws:

Most of reports are not giving us enough details. Can we get the input if one of following is case? There is one problem: j.a.Desktop.browse() not working on KDE (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6486393). I suggest to disable this browser integration if 'sun.desktop' system property is not set. Another one is http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6490730 caused probably by wrong configuration of GNOME. This can be common on Solaris. Can reporters check if 'gconftool-s --all-entries /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http' dumps correct configuration? It means it is enabled and refers to a real browser that can be executed. If this is wrong then there is a problem in basic desktop configuration and it is not NetBeans fault. We may want more reliable support in JDK and do not want to give up of this integration generally IMO.

I've found similar issue on Windows Vista today. I've filed it as Issue 109362 . It may be somehow related to this one.

This issue is also known to crash the JVM, see issue #108688. We will probably stop using Desktop.browse() in beta1, I am waiting for the final feedback from the JDK team.
Fixed by disabling calls to Desktop.browse() (unless "org.netbeans.modules.extbrowser.UseDesktopBrowse" system property is explicitly set). /cvs/extbrowser/src/org/netbeans/modules/extbrowser/SystemDefaultBrowser.java,v <-- SystemDefaultBrowser.java new revision: 1.13; previous revision: 1.12
