I had a different error which was due to the fact that I did an install via sudo and the updates could not update all files.
I ended up in uninstalling, downloading the full 6.9.1 package and reinstalling using a different folder in /opt/netbeans (to which I gave full permissions and changed owner so that I can update it also when netbeans started with normal user permissions). After that I tried to recheck for updates and got a connection error so it might be really down. BTW: If you are on Linux I found out that installing from the repository (in Ubuntu NetBeans is in the repositories) is not a good idea. -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
