I can confirm this bug. Using the ubuntu provided netbeans (7.0.1), loading any project in netbeans fails with the attached error and jvm stack trace.
Using the netbeans.org provided netbeans (8.0), everything works perfect. ** Attachment added: "Netbeans 7.0.1 error message" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/1320948/+attachment/4117704/+files/netbeans7.0.1%2Bdfsg1-5ubuntu2.fail -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320948 Title: can not create new project ClassNotFoundException To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/1320948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
