Description Jessica Hawkwell 2013-04-06 02:03:08 UTC

I have OpenJDK 7 (dev-java/icedtea-7.2.3.8) and I noticed a slight issue when I went to install NetBeans IDE.  netbeans-ide-7.3 requires Java 6, ignoring the installed Java 7.

I know for a fact NetBeans runs flawlessly with Java 7, and is designed for both Java 6 and 7.  I'm fairly certain the Java requirement for NetBeans can be changed from a specific version to any installed version.

Reproducible: Always
