jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ 

And then it creates this file in my home folder called hs_err_pid2687.log

UPDATE: I've downloaded the installer from their website the one with everything included. and I then ran the installation file 'sudo sh ./netbeans-7.4-linux.sh' and got this:

I guess you should tell us how you uninstalled and reinstalled Java.

I removed "OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime" and "OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime" and installed them again through the software center

Solution

Try reinstalling - first remove it using this:

sudo apt-get remove netbeans

or this, but it will remove config files etc:

sudo apt-get purge  netbeans

then reinstall it:

sudo apt-get install netbeans

Hope this helps.

Edit:

As one bit in your answer seems to refer to openjdk 6, try version 7:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

But the error may be due to it not finding version 6, so do:

apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

There is a answer here that may also be of help.

I guess you should tell us how you uninstalled and reinstalled Java..

[Jeggy]

I've already tried that, I more think it's something wrong with my Java. But Eclipse, BlueJ, Minecraft and java applications online do work fine :/

[Wilf]

Try purging it as well, and moving any config files for it in your home directory.

[Jeggy]

I removed it and then deleted the .netbeans folder and then installed it again and same thing happened. And still doesn't work :(

[Wilf]

Updated answer.
