Yeah, Java 1.6 would have been my next guess I had 1.6.02 and 32bit Feisty. And: Looks like WordPress is eating up double minus like Pacman, sorry for that!

Seems to work fine with Java 1.6.02, just not any of the 1.5 builds.

BTW, it took out the double dash again, I really am providing 2 dashes before the laf.

Man, that’s weird. In my previous post I actually meant the double minus but looks like the software took out the second minus.

What version of java are you using? I’ve tried the latest full download of netbeans on both a 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu Feisty systems and receive the same IllegalArgumentException Width (-1) and height (-1) cannot be ./netbeans –laf \\ com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

Hm, actually I have no idea why this is happening. Above command (there is a double minus before the term ‘laf’) it worked for me with M9 and still works in M10:
$>[path to netbeans]/bin/netbeans –laf \\ com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

I’ve tried your suggestion on Netbeans 6 m10 (looks like it’s –laf now) and netbeans just pukes with an illegal arg exception width (-1) height (-1). Any thoughts?
