Hi drorco,

Were you able to find a way to get around this?  I'm having the same problem 
and not sure what to do.

Hi kenny11,

see here - https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246918. It's a 
workaround but it works for me. It is free to use and do whatever you want with 
it but without any guarantee or support and I won't be responsible if it 
damages you or anybody else.
