[SOLVED] NetBeans 7.3.1 Doesn't Start

I installed NetBeans from the repositories about 10 minutes ago. When I run it, it won't start, but just dies. I tried running it from the command line and get no output except for the JAva options I have set. I am using the JDK version from the aur (7.17-1). I get no error messages in any logs I can find, I get no error messages from the command line (except for the above) -- it just returns to the prompt. NetBeans process is not running. I rebooted and still the same thing. I tried as root and still the same thing.

This machine is only 5 weeks old and has never had a previous version of NetBeans on it.

Is anyone else having this issue? I find it odd that I get no error messages.

Nah. I prefer the Oracle Java. If that's what the problem is, then I guess I'll move on from NetBeans.

Also, it would seem NetBeans is fine with JDK 7u17:

Re: [SOLVED] NetBeans 7.3.1 Doesn't Start

Solved this> There was an error in the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable:

Wrong:

_JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.cun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on

Right:

_JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on

Re: [SOLVED] NetBeans 7.3.1 Doesn't Start

sun/oracle jdk is more faster than openjdk. But have some glitches witch anothers java programs like jdownloader. For the university tasks i have used sun jdk but now i use the openjdk. I recomend to you see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ … imbus.html is a good theme. Good luck.
