I've used NetBeans IDE 4.0 dev (June 27 2004). I ve installed it in my PC with Win XP, Java 1.4.2_02 it threw an exception when I run it. Error messages attached. The error did not crash the IDE.
Created attachment 16043 [details] Error log from NetBeans IDE (exceptions on startup)
This was caused by incompatible changes in project system during 4.0 development. It affects only projects created by older 4.0dev and opened under newer 4.0dev. CCing Jesse: Jesse, if you think this needs to be fixed, reopen and reassign (if it is not harmless, we should probably support safer transition from older 4.0 project format to the final one)
Sorry, we are not wasting any time trying to preserve format compatibility between daily builds, when we haven't even produced a beta yet.
