Description htt 2007-03-09 01:07:14 UTC 
Download and unzip CB 070308_6 (6.0)
On Sol 10 sparc or x86, launch IDE via commandline:
% cd <>/netbeans/bin
% ./netbeans -userdir <> -jdkhome <>
==> A couple of Warnings below and IDE is launched with incomplete list of
project choices.
    "Could not install module JPDA Debugger API JPDA Debugger API - This module
requires jpda.jar to be accessible. This file was not found. Usually this means
you are trying to run the IDE with the JRE instead of the full JDK.  If so,
please use the --jdkhome command line option to specify a JDK installation."

Redo the command:
% ./netbeans -userdir <> --jdkhome <>
==> everything's ok.  While "-" works for userdir, "--" is required for jdkhome.
 Seems inconsistent...
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-03-09 16:24:45 UTC 
Support for -jdkhome & -userdir was removed in NB6/M7.
