Description

Netbeans fails to start on Harmony (both IBM and DRL VM) and displays the following error message:

An incompatible Xalan version has been detected on the IDE's classpath.
The IDE cannot start.
Please see http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Netbeans/FaqXalanOnCP for more information.

The wiki has moved, the proper address is http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/FaqXalanOnCP

It references the issue http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2219 as the cause of the problem.
It will probably be fixed in Xalan 2.7.1, so we should probably migrate to this version as soon as it's released.

The workaround for now is commenting out xalan-j_2.7.0/xalan.jar from deploy/jdk/jre/lib/boot/bootclasspath.properties.
