TheadDump for "NetBeans 7.3.1.app"

My whole Netbeans IDE freezes on a spinning beachball after a few seconds, while scanning projects about 3/4 of the time when I launch it.

And when it doesn't, it hangs usually when adding code with a function like "Insert Constructor" or "Generate Tests"

Here is a ThreadDump of the latest freeze, right at startup.

(I uninstalled the Netbeans 7.3.1 app package and reinstalled it several times, tried also with Netbeans 7.4, cleared all possible caches and config files I could find, and upgraded from jdk1.7.0_40 to jdk1.7.0_45. To no avail. But I'm stuck as to which external dependency might need to be reinstalled or tweaked to fix the issue)

Many thanks for your help.

Behavior is the same at startup even when no projects remained opened from the previous session.

The app is shown as not responding by the OSX Activity Monitor, without a huge processor usage (3.5%)

OS is OSX 10.8.5

I downgraded my JDK to jdk1.7.0_25

All is apparently back to normal now.

So far, so good.
Thanks!
