This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
It is documented in Installation Instruction of 6.8 beta that 6.8 can coexists on the same system with previous versions http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/68/install.html#upgrading Upgrading and Coexisting with Previous Versions NetBeans IDE 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, 6.5 and 6.7 can coexist with NetBeans IDE 6.8 on the same system. You do not have to uninstall the previous versions in order to install or run NetBeans IDE 6.8. This is not true because during installation the Installer of 6.8beta or 6.7.1 removes Info.plist and MacOS dir of the other version To reproduce install netbeans-6.7.1-ml-macosx.dmg before or after netbeans-6.8beta-ml-macosx.dmg Use "Show Package Contents" to verify the lack of Info.plist and MacOS dir As workaround rename the NetBeans 6.x.app package of the first installation before running the second installer, then restore to original name. Both version will work fine because they use different userdir (.netbeans/6.7 and .netbeans/6.8beta)
Does that happen with 6.7.1 vs daily builds? http://bits.netbeans.org/netbeans/trunk/nightly/latest/ Michael, could you please verify that it happens on our test Macs ? Thanks. (if it really happens, please also try installing 6.7.1 and latest daily simultaneously)
claudiomassi, please attach /var/log/install.log after you install the second NB version. thanks.
I can't reproduce the issue. espb04:/Applications/NetBeans tester$ ls NetBeans 6.7.1.app NetBeans 6.8 Beta.app NetBeans 6.8 M1.app espb04:/Applications/NetBeans tester$ ls NetBeans\ 6.7.1.app/Contents/ Info.plist MacOS Resources espb04:/Applications/NetBeans tester$ ls NetBeans\ 6.8\ Beta.app/Contents/ Info.plist MacOS Resources espb04:/Applications/NetBeans tester$ ls NetBeans\ 6.8\ M1.app/Contents/ Info.plist MacOS Resources And I can run any of these NetBeans installations.
Created attachment 90077 [details] First part of log for fx bundle installation of 6.7.1 and 6.8beta: install.log.0
Created attachment 90078 [details] Second part of log for fx bundle installation of 6.7.1 and 6.8beta: install.log.0
Created attachment 90081 [details] Snapshot od NetBeans directory after installation of 6.7.1 and 6.8beta
In attachment I provided the /var/log/install.log* and a snapshot of the NetBeans folder of a new test with fx bundle (netbeans-6.7.1-ml-javafx-macosx.dmg , netbeans-6.8beta-ml-javafx-macosx.dmg) I can reproduce the problem: $ ls NetBeans 6.7.1.app NetBeans 6.8 Beta.app $ ls NetBeans\ 6.7.1.app/Contents/ Resources $ ls NetBeans\ 6.8\ Beta.app/Contents/ Info.plist MacOS Resources
Well I'll try to reproduce on Mac OS X 10.6.1 as soon as I manage to find one.
A new test on another MBP with 10.5.8 was successfull. With an existing complete installation of 6.5.1, I've installed 6.7.1 fx and 6.8 fx. All of them can start Only the installations on my 10.6.1 seems to have problems
Thank you, claudiomassi. So It looks like version-specific problem. Investigation is needed.

P2: lost of data ( nb itself) and severe regression. Need fix for fcs. Snow leopard is now default on macs.
Hello, Unfortunately I still don't have an access to the Snow Leo. So I need your help to fix the bug. Could you please, attach here the following files (after second NB installation): /private/var/db/receipts/org.netbeans.ide.plist /private/var/db/receipts/org.netbeans.ide.bom /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist Then, please, run in terminal: > pkgutil --pkg-info org.netbeans.ide > sudo pkgutil --forget org.netbeans.ide After that, please make sure that files /private/var/db/receipts/org.netbeans.ide.plist /private/var/db/receipts/org.netbeans.ide.bom are deleted and attach updated /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist Thanks!
-able to reproduce with 1, install 6.7.1 full then 2, install 6.8beta fx -> 6.7.1 doesn't work anymore -able to reproduce with 6.8 beta javase distro too -OS X 10.6.1
