Description grip 2012-05-22 05:08:51 UTC 
After a fresh installation (jdk included) netbeans has lost it's way and can't find java on OSX 10.5.8. 

Cannot find java. Please use the --jdkhome switch.
logout

[Process completed]

For something as sophisticated as bending the disk with the space of about 20 operating systems i wonder why the program is not able to find it's java itself? I think this is a bug.

Which version on netbeans? Did you use a bundle JDK with NetBeans?
