I appreciate your interest. I'm happy to see as many people looking at this

Happy to do so. Some I've done before but more knowledgeable eyes may see
better.

NOTE: Some time in distant memory I read (in some Apple document) that
JAVA_HOME should be set to "/Library/Java/Home" rather then to something
more explicit. This may explain the result of the "which java" command (as
opposed to your expected result).

Thanks for the help,

P.S.
Since you indicated you only recently looked at this. Here's a summary
(ignore if it looks like stuff you already know):
- The problems described below are rare but not unique to by system.
- NetBeans crashes on Finder launch (icon double click) but not on Terminal
launch (open "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app").
- The Finder launch crash log indicates a crash in 64-bit mode.
- Terminal launched NetBeans runs in 32-bit mode.
- Some people with the problem can't run from the Terminal without using a
sudo command (there may be others who can't run under any circumstances ...
not sure about that though).
- Nothing on my system is explicitly set to use 64-bit mode or Java 1.6 (as
far as I know).
- Debugging statements added to the shell script that NetBeans ultimately
uses to launch itself (nbexec in the NetBeans.app package) seem to indicate
that the command lines generated for Finder and Terminal launch are
equivalent.
- Another IDE, IntelliJ IDEA launches successfully (as far as I can tell)
but, when commanded (from its menu commands) to compile/rebuild/make a
project, the compile/etc. fails with a crash log that is very similar to the
NetBeans crash log.
- If I use IDEA to generate an Ant script to do the project rebuild/make,
and then run the Ant script, the rebuild/make works.
