I've succesfully used the commandline switch --jdkhome to specify the jdk location in many previous releases, but in 6.7 is does not work.
When starting I get "The JDK is missing..." error popup. I've tried severeal different JDK's all fail. And they all work in 6.5. Any suggestions?

using netbeans.conf does not change anything, exact same result:



As mentioned earlier using the exact same --jdkhome switch (or netbeans_jdkhome in netbeans.conf) works in all versions I've tried prior to 6.7.
I've tried several JDK's, and they all work in 6.5.
Funny thing is, netbeans do accept the jdkhome switch as it outputs the java version I stated when starting up:

Code:
 
  Product Version         = NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230233)
  Operating System        = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
  Java; VM; Vendor        = 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15; Sun Microsystems Inc.
  Runtime                 = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_10-b33
  Java Home               = c:\tools\j2sdk-se\1.6.0_10\jre

This bit looks exactly like when running 6.5 (apart from product version ofcourse)

I can add than I'm using the zipped version of nb. All used to work just fine before 6.7:

DL zip, unzip somewhere, specify jdk using netbeans.conf or --jdkhome, launch.

Found solution (or workaround as this is a bug IMO):

I'm using the --cp:a switch when launching to add some jars I need. Like:

Code:
--cp:a "c:\myjar.jar"


This works in 6.x, but NOT in 6.7.x

Reason: they dont prepend a ";" anymore before inserting value in classpath. So in order to get --cp:a to work in 6.7 you have to prepend your own semicolon:

Code:
--cp:a ";c:\myjar.jar"


Note: I'm also using the --cp:p but here they (still) append a ";"
