The entire screen is not opening as it should I removed NetBeans, reinstalled same issue.
Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2016-03-29 07:56:34 UTC 
I spinned off error #258563 which may indicate a bug in installer/upgrade or possibly binary layer cache - or simply an user error.

The rest of ER collected under this bug has a common cause: there's some *strange* parser active systemwide: org.gjt.xpp.XmlPullParserException. It apparently does not properly support DOCTYPE and refuses validation feature. There are errors from numerous features, as defaults in XML format shipped within NB JARs could not be read.

Please check your JRE ext and endorsed dirs or locate the NetBeans module which contains classes org.gjt.xpp.*
