Description nobody4nb 2008-04-27 02:38:55 UTC 
While loading the netbeans IDE, before I can access the IDE, an exception will occur, the below is the detail:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter file was not normalized. Was E:\DOCUME~1\Fanoos\.netbeans-derby instead 
of E:\Documents and Settings\Fanoos\.netbeans-derby

Looks like NB is getting confused with a file name with spaces in it.

As a workaround, can you change the setting for where the Java DB database is stored in the following way:

Under the Services tab on the left, open the Databases folder, and right-click on Java DB, and choose Properties...

Then set the "Database Location" to be a directory somewhere where there are no spaces.

Hopefully this should fix things.

If you have databases you are using already, you can copy their directories from Fanoos\.netbeans-derby to their new
location, they'll work just fine in the new location.

reporter, did you happen to upgrade to Windows Vista?

There was an issue concerning a Windows upgrade that apparently just got fixed:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=135547

I don't know if the fix will be in 6.5 beta but may be in the nightly builds after Aug 6
