I confirm the problems with openJDK 8 (at least with current version 8u66-b17-1), I'm unable to even run the netbeans installer, while using Oracle JDK it works fine.

It used to work fine in Ubuntu 15.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510009 Title: Java 1.8.0_66 is extremely deadlock prone regarding AWT/GTK interaction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1510009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
