I am using the latest version of Netbeans (7.2) on a macbook pro with Mountain Lion clean installation, and it gives me frequent crashes.Is it only me , or is it a general problem and who is responsible for it mountain lion, netbeans or jdk7?
(The default java version for this machine is java 7 - you can set it in System Preferences->Java)
I would say Java 7. I tried it briefly (on Lion) and it had severe issues. e.g. Spurious calls to setValueAt with JTables in Java 7 on OS X Lion?
I've been running Netbeans with Java 6 on Lion just fine.
IIRC, netbeans will log problems (exception etc...) you might want to look in your ~/.netbeans directory (exact name may vary) for things to submit to either Netbeans or as Java bugs to help.
