Comment 3 for bug 254587

Content of /etc/netbeans.conf :

BEGIN COPY:

~$ cat /etc/netbeans.conf
# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/6.0"

# Options used by NetBeans launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit
# command line switches:
netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m
-J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none
-J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true"
# (Note that a default -Xmx is selected for you automatically.)

# If you specify the heap size (-Xmx) explicitely, you may also want to enable
# Concurrent Mark & Sweep garbage collector. In such case add the following
# options to the netbeans_default_options:
# -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled
# (see http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/FaqGCPauses)

# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir>:
netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"

# Additional module clusters, using ${path.separator} (';' on Windows
or ':' on Unix):
#netbeans_extraclusters="/absolute/path/to/cluster1:/absolute/path/to/cluster2"

END_PASTE

Looks like it detects java-sun package.

Could this be result of upgrading from Gutsy ? (I installed sun java in gutsy)
