The latest Java updates do not solve my problem launching NetBeans by
double clicking the .app file. But if I click the bin.netbeans file
within the app (its a shell script), a shell opens, and NetBeans
starts
properly.
It thus appears to me that the problem is in creating the .app file
from
its pieces. What could that be?
Is there a way to be able to put a shell script onto the system tray
so
that I can launch NB easily?
This sounds like something is corrupted in your copy of NetBeans.
What version?
In a shell, if you cd /Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/MacOS and
run 'ls -la' does the output look like this?
Tim:MacOS tim$ ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 102 May 22 22:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 170 Apr 22 05:57 ..
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 502 34 May 22 22:58 netbeans -> ../Resources/
NetBeans/bin/netbeans
Maybe take a look also at NetBeans.app/Contents/Info.plist and make
sure it's intact and contains
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>netbeans</string>
...or just download a fresh copy...this definitely does work
ordinarily. If you open Console, is there anything logged when you
double click the .app?
