[ BUILD # : 201203280401 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.3 ]

I'm having the IDE crashing. Looking at the logs this is the cause:

WARNING [org.netbeans.core.startup.InstalledFileLocatorImpl]: no code name base
passed when looking up var/license_accepted at
org.netbeans.core.startup.Main$1LicenseHandler.shouldDisplayLicense(Main.java:46

The file is present on the user's folder.

The license file is empty but there. Had to delete the var folder to make it work again. I'll try to attach the var folder contents.

Does it still happen? I'd welcome newer stacktrace. There were few changes in the code recently and I am not able to identify where exactly line 158 is.

Comment 4 javydreamercsw 2012-04-04 14:41:16 UTC

Seems to be fixed since build 201204030400
