Hi Brad, Michael already gave the explanation (the structure of the javac modules was incompatibly changed). At the time it was done the issue was brought up, but as it only affects users of the development builds, it was deemed ok.
To fix this: 1. Open /home/bwalker/.netbeans/dev/modules 2. Look for the javac modules and note the names 3. Open /home/bwalker/.netbeans/dev/config/Modules and look for XML files with the same basenames and rename them to .xml.remove 4. Start NetBeans This basicly removes the modules from NetBeans. If start succeeds and everything is in order, you can remove the ".xml.remove" files and also the corresponding jars from the /home/bwalker/.netbeans/dev/modules folder.
