NetBeans Hangs on New Project Creation
- by Jason
When creating a New Project in NetBeans, it hangs on the creation screen;

I'm running Netbeans 7.0.1 on Xubuntu 13.04.
Java -version prints:
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.10) (7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.13.04.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
/usr/lib/jvm/ contains the following folders;
java-1.5.0-gcj-4.7-amd64 java-6-openjdk-amd64 java-7-openjdk-common
java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 java-6-openjdk-common
java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 java-7-openjdk-amd64
I tried editing /usr/share/netbeans/7.0.1/etc/netbeans.conf with the following (as was suggested in another post);
netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/"
But that didn't work. Instead, NetBeans then presented an error on the loading splash when it reached "Turning on Modules..." claiming the JDK was missing.
Both NetBeans and the OpenJDK Java 7/6 Runtimes were installed through the Ubuntu Software Centre. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Java and NetBeans.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
