Comment 1 Manny 2011-06-03 21:31:25 UTC

I am having the same problem as described above on Fedora 15 with the netbeans-ide-6.9-3.fc15.noarch package installed.

I can work around by running:
netbeans -cp:a /usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis.jar

For some reason it seems that xml-commons-apis.jar is not included in the classpath when running netbeans.

Trace is below.
