netbean crashing everytime because of JVM

[Lalit Nagalkar]

Hi all,
Whenever I start NetBeans 5.5 it sarts normally but just after (1-2 secs.) starting up the JVM crashes shutting down the IDE. this is happening everytime. The same thing happens with jBoss 4.0.4 GA also but not everytime. I know the problem is JVM but couldn't get solution anywhere.

A log file is created by jvm: "hs_err_pid*.log" (* denotes some number)

You might try upgrading to 1.5 update 11, or whatever the most recent verison is now. You might also try adding more memory to the heap, like -X128M for 128 MB... it doesnt seem like a memory issue though.

What OS are you running on and are you sure that you installed the proper JVM for your OS. Maybe reinstalling the version you have (or upgrading as I mentioned above)

Not sure what else it could be.
