Scott mentioned that he has been successfully using JDK 6 with Netbeans 6.1 and now successfully with the prerelease 6.5 nightly builds of Netbeans. I recall seeing a similar problem with 6.1 on my system after trying JDK 6. I reverted back to JDK 5 and have been running successfully since then. Last night I tried moving to JDK 6 again for Netbeans and it came up successfully this time for me as well.

There was a similar thread discussing a segmentation fault during startup on nabble.com.

Perhaps some of the details here might be of help.

"I believe Netbeans 6.1 requires use of JDK 5 for operation. It appears
your system java default might be set to JDK 6. Perhaps this setting
changed recently. I'm running 6.1 successfully with JDK 5 as the
system default. You can still target JDK 6 in Netbeans projects but I
believe you'll need to run the IDE using JDK 5. See the download page
for more detail at http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final. Bob Potterveld"

I was using 1.5. It failed to start, so I changed it to use 1.6. It still did not start.

I'm not sure what Scott Palmer was trying to send...
