Strange Netbeans 5.5 JPDA Error

Hi all.

I downloaded and ran Netbeans 5.5 using a copy of JDK 5 update 11 I had also just downloaded. I've rebooted my PC since installing these two applications.

However, when I run Netbeans 5.5 using JDK 5 update 11, I get the following error from Netbeans:

Warning - could not install module JPDA Debugger API

JPDA Debugger API - This module requires jpda.jar to be accessible.

This file was not found. Usuallythis means you are trying to run the IDE with the JRE instead of the full JDK.

If so, please use the --jdkhome command line option to specify a JDK installation.

I certainly installed a JDK and not a JRE. So I added the jdkhome option (using both --jdkhome

, as appears in the message but looks like an error, and -jdkhome

. Note that the first has TWO dashes instead of 1 in front of jdkhome).

Still no luck. Same error.

I then tried running netbeans with my older JDK5 update 4 VM (which I had thankfully not deleted)...

and it worked fine.

Does anyone know what's up? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

are you TRYING to run in profile mode? because it sounds like that's what's happening. either way, i really would expect it to work since netbeans comes with a profiler after all. not sure, check the runtime config
