Netbeans 7.2 won't open on OS X
- by Mark van Wyk
I installed Netbeans on OSX Mountain Lion running JDK 7. Everything was working fine. Then my machine for no reason crashed. After this I could no longer open Netbeans anymore.
If I try to start Netbeans from the commandline:
/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 7.2.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans
Then it works fine. From there I can select Netbeans About and confirm that my userdir and cachedir is:
User directory: /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/7.2
Cache directory: /Users/<user>/Library/Caches/NetBeans/7.2
So, I deleted these directories and tried again, but alas, I can only start netbeans via the commandline.
Ideas appreciated...
