Please find the Error Screen shot and /var/log/install.log as attached. Thanks, Jay.
Hi, Thanks. Looks like something wrong with ant execution... Do you have other Ant version installed on the system? What does "java -version" say? 1.4.2 or 1.5.0_xx ? What does "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/bin/java -version" says? There was a small issue with that and I fixed it not so long ago. Could you please try the latest dev build to check if the issue is reproducible ? http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/ Thanks, Dmitry
Hi, The java version is 1.5.0_02-56. I did check the latest nightly build. I am getting the same Error and it is reproducible. Thanks, Jay.
This JDK is quite old and buggy, I recomend to update the JDK to, at least, 1.5.0_13 (Java Release 6) - but it is available for Mac OS X 10.4.10 and higher. With the current configuration, could you please open terminal and do the following: cd /Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-v2ur2 ./lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml Likely you`ll get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher Does any of the following command works: sh -x "./lib/ant/bin/ant --noconfig -f setup.xml" sh -x "./lib/ant/bin/ant --noconfig -v -f setup.xml" If none works, please attach the output of both commands. If some command works - please let me know.

Hi, I have attached the netbeans ant command output. None of the commands work. I have ant version 1.6.2 installed in my system. Is that causing the problem? Thanks, Jay.
I hope not .. but to check for sure please try the following: cd /Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-v2ur2 ./lib/ant/bin/ant --noconfig -f setup.xml Still see NoClassDefFoundError? I continue to think that it is the old buggy JDK and we can`t fix it in the installer.
I`ve done some fix that could help: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/bfd8095245a5 Please check the next daily build (>=200808130000). If it still does not work, please attach the output of $ ls -laR /Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-v2ur2/lib/ant and $/Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-v2ur2/lib/ant/bin/ant --noconfig -version Thanks, Dmitry
