It would seem unlikely that the root cause is in the JDK as there are very few shell scripts included (specifically the launcher is native):
techno:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin# file -L * | grep -i shell ControlPanel: Bourne shell script text executable HtmlConverter: Bourne shell script text executable java-rmi.cgi: Bourne shell script text executable techno:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin# And even invoking system commands call spawn() directly: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String[],%20java.io.File) However, from the nb strace log, we find this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 413% grep sh nb_55_install.log open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "#!/bin/sh \n# InstallShield (R)\n#"..., 80) = 80 read(255, "#!/bin/sh \n# InstallShield (R)\n#"..., 8176) = 8176 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 414% Which suggests that the shell script of the NetBeans installer may have bash-isms (or elements which are not compatible with dash). I will investigate further and file a bug with upstream (NetBeans) if indeed this is the root cause. Other applications would need to do similarly (and report the problem to InstallShield).
