Netbeans 7.2 not starting

Question

I recently installed Netbeans 7.2 beta and it worked fine. Then I installed Netbeans 7.2 final release on top of beta and during the installation, Netbeans 7.1 and Netbeans 7.12 were there. Now when I launch Netbeans, it does not go beyond "loading modules" stage. Simply the Netbeans screen disappear few seconds after the launch. Then I did the following.

• Uninstalled all the Netbeans versions and re-installed Netbeans 7.2
• Deleted AppData/Netbeans folder
• Deleted User/.nbi folder
• Searched the registry and deleted Netbeans related entries. (But only one entry was found)
• Deleted Netbeans Folder in Program Files folder.
• Uninstalled and Re-installed in a separate drive.
• Uninstalled and Re-installed under another user account.

None of the above worked, the only thing I did not try was to re-install the Windows XP operating system.

It there any option to try before re-installing the operating system?

我遇到了同样的问题……使用 netbeans 7.2，转到 user/appdata/roaming/7.2/modules/ 并删除除 docs、ext、locale 文件夹之外的所有 jar 文件……然后再次启动 ide……基本上，当您在更新后更新 ide 时，当您启动 ide 时，它​​会卡在加载模块阶段时出现问题。

First of all, you need to check proper version of JDK is installed. Netbeans 7.2 requires JDK 1.7, not 1.8.
You can check {Netbeans Install Path}/etc/netbeans.conf. There find netbeans_jdkhome and its value. Make sure you install JDK1.7 and this line netbeans_jdkhome="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_25" for example.
If not, change the value to proper installation path.

That's some stability issue with NetBeans 7.2

Just Kill and Restart the IDE and it should be fine.

Answer 4

我遇到了同样的问题，请确保在安装过程中配置了所需的 JDK 版本。

Answer 5

First tried everything to no avail, finally I had to uninstall NetBeans 7, then install NetBeans 8, which also aligned with my JDK 8. This resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps others.

如果您不确定可以从C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans {netbeans version}\\etc更改它，请确保在安装向导中选择了正确的 JDK 目录，您将看到一个文件netbeans.conf编辑它（我正在使用 Notepad++为此）在文件​​的底部，您将看到一行netbeans_jdkhome="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\{jdk directory you want}"确保它是有效的 JDK 并且它是 JDK，而不是 JRE
