Hi Gary,

The most significant difference between your startup and mine is the presence in your classpath of what looks to be language specific jar files such locale/boot_ja.jar. The jar files in locale don't appear on my system hence they do not appear on my classpath. I can't imagine they would be part of the problem. However, a quick test might be interesting. Move your locale folder to /tmp ( sudo mv "/Applications/ NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform8/lib/ locale" /tmp/locale) to temporarily get them out of the way. Then try and restart NetBeans. Hopefully these jar files no longer appear in your classpath. After the test, you can move the folder back with sudo mv /tmp/locale "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app/Contents/ Resources/NetBeans/platform8/lib/locale".

Other than a few glassfish differences in my environment, the startup is almost identical.

Bob,
Thanks for your help. I'd already modified nbexec to include a -d32 option just to see what happens. No change (see my last post).

My netbeans.conf file contains the following value for netbeans_jdkhome: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home
same as yours.
Also, thanks for the code to add to nbexec. Here are the results (contents of jvmstartupinfo.txt):

Hi Gary,
My understanding based on using Netbeans 6.1 is that the jdk used by
netbeans is defined in the file:
/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/
etc/netbeans.conf
I would assume that Netbeans 6.5 uses the same approach but have not confirmed this. Running netbeans from the dock or launching manually should ultimately startup netbeans using the jdk defined in this file.
On my system this file contains the following definition for
netbeans_jdkhome. Note there are other properties defined.
# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir>: netbeans_jdkhome=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ Versions/ 1.5/Home
Switching between JDK's to run the ide in means changing this file.
I'm not sure how this conf file gets originally setup but am presuming it is done so during installation of Netbeans. I don't know how it selects the java to use.

This conf file also has a property named netbeans_default_options. If you need to alter some of the parameters passed to java / netbeans on startup, this would be the property to try modifying.
What jdk is the netbeans.conf file pointing to on your system?
I've been able to successfully switch between running the ide using
netbeans_jdkhome set at 1.5  and 1.6. When running using 1.5, the
default on my system is the 32 version. When I added -d64 to the
netbeans_default_options I can force it to start in 64bit 1.5 mode.
If you can capture the exact command being issued on your system it
might be helpful.
In the nbexec file add the following just before the eval statement
you posted:
echo "netbeansstartup data" > $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo "JDKHOME:" >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo ${jdkhome} >>  $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo "CP:" >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo $cp >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo "JARGS:" >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo $jargs  >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo "ARGS:" >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
echo $args  >> $HOME/jvmstartupinfo.txt
This creates the file jvmstartupinfo.txt in $HOME. If you post your results I can try the exact same startup logic on my system and also a couple of other architecture variants.
