Netbeans 6.5.1 issue after Java for MAC OS X 10.5 Update 4

[hobin]

After I installed the "Java for MAC OS X 10.5 Update 4" my Netbeans 6.5.1 will not load a new project.  It starts and goes to 25% progress and hangs forever.  I had Netbeans 6.5 and the same issue occurred.  I am running the following Java version:

java version "1.5.0_19"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19-b02-304)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_19-137, mixed mode, sharing)



Any ideas?  Thanks.

Hi hobin,
could you please try latest NB 6.7 build ... can be downloaded from :
http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/release67/

link NetBeans-dev-release67-XX-on-0906YY-full.zip

and test it ? We've fixed couple issues related to latest changes in Apple's
JDK.

Thanks in advance,
*Marian

This only works on 64-bits processors. On 32bits (older MacBooks and MacBooks Pro) you get:


Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java

zsh: bad CPU type in executable: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java





Is there any other solution?

Is is working, thanks :D

Yes. That's what I found out. I did try a selective revert using Time Machine and tried restoring earlier versions of NB abd Java, but this only broke several other applications.



In the end, I did a complete Time Machine restore to a recent good configuration. Everything's working again - only I'm not going to update Java until I'm pretty sure the issue is solved.

finally got the thing to work.. thanks a lot! appreciate your help...

I'm using v6.5.1 so i first installed Java 6 (Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4)



Then I changed the Java Applet Runtime Settings. You can get this info here:

http://www.metaphoriclabs.com/articles/installing-java-6-on-mac-os-x/



Finally, I made the change in the netbeans_jdkhome variable in netbeans.conf file to version 1.6 instead of 1.5



Took quite a while to figure out all the three things since it isn't all that obvious... Hope it works for you.

I have this problem as well, I cannot create new files or projects and have all kinds of other problems..



As it seems, it is caused by a ClassLoadException when trying to load classes from javax.scripting..

Did Apple remove the Scripting Interface in Java5 because of this security problem in Java that was discovered? - dont remember the details..



I am also developing on a 32bit Intel MacBook, so no JDK6 from Apple.. OpenJDK6 runs on X11, that is no real solution for me..



I started Moving to NB6.7, which seems to work, but I get other funny stuff there (apart from the fact that IceFaces is not supported):

When I try to build a NetBeans Module project with UI elements, I get an error from the javac compiler:

"Invalid flag -processorpath"

Is the compiler in this 1.5.0_19 bugfixcrapversion also crippled or is that netbeans 6.7 trying to use Java6 compiler options?



I really hate what Apple does with its Java implementation. They only tune it for their own WebService stuff and leave the rest behind..
