Description franckcl 2014-05-13 06:08:29 UTC 
Hello,

I have install netbeans from the software library on Ubuntu (lastest version 14.04).
When I click on the icon in the tool bar, the first image which indicate the version of Netbeans appears and after few seconds it disapears.

I have uninstall and then reinstall, it is the same.
I have reboot, it is the same.

When I execute netbeans from a teminal, I have this:

[code]
franck@franck-PC-portable:~$ netbeans
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=384m; support was removed in 8.0
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32m; support was removed in 8.0
franck@franck-PC-portable:~$ 
[/code]

Here is the version of java
[code]
franck@franck-PC-portable:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)
franck@franck-PC-portable:~$ 
[/code]

Hello, thank you for the report.

there may be the problem in the old NetBeans version you are trying to run on JDK 8.

Please attach the IDE log - http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqLogMessagesFile

Also you should try to run it on JDK 7 or try to install newer NetBeans version. The Ubuntu sw library isn't unfortunately the source of the latest NetBeans version.
