For example, NetBeans. You can launch it from the command line with
open path_to_bin/netbeans.

If you double-click the .app file or its tray icon, the launcher crashes
java!

I reported it to Apple as bug 6201937. It is not just NetBeans either.

Also, see

Any idea what has happened? This started after the last system update.
