Netbeans 6 doesn't start

[Ashton Batty]

Binary package hint: netbeans

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 6 Desktop AMD64 version.
Via synaptic I installed icedtea and netbeans 6.0.1
I tried launching Netbeans from the Applications menu, but nothing happened.
I tried launching Netbeans from the terminal, with following output:

Can you reproduce this by using openjdk-6 (which has superseded icedtea-java7 in hardy) ?

[Ashton Batty (ashton)]

Netbeans works fine now. Fresh install of 64bit Ubuntu hardy desktop
beta, installed Netbeans via Synaptic. OpenJDK was automatically
installed as a dependency this time. Netbeans runs without apparent
error from both menu and command line.

Marking as fixed in openjdk-6 as Hardy doesn't have icedtea-java7 anymore. Please reopen if this issue occurs again.
