Solved [SOLVED] NetBeans 8.0 - IDE internal updates freeze it

Few months ago (when NetBeans 8.0 updated on ports) I updated it. At start NetBeans ask me if I want to import 7.4 version configuration, I said 'yes' (as always I do) and checked for plugins updates. After upgrading all plugins I never restarted NetBeans untill yesterday. I'm developing a C++ console program that run in both Windows and FreeBSD, untill yesterday I was working on Windows, tha program compile with no errors and I thought it was time to try to compile it on FreeBSD.

NetBeans does not starts, it shows the splash screen but stop at 'Starting modules', forever, I have to kill java process. I don't remember if I installed any plugins not in main distribution, if you ask me I say 'no, I have no other pluins installed, I only activated C/C++ and PHP'. So I deleted the directory $home/.netbeans/8.0 and restarted NetBeans, imported 7.4 configuration, activated only C/C++ and exited. NetBeans restart with no errors asking me to update IDE and plugins. Trying to activate 'Base IDE' does not work. After a couple of restarting I only updated C/C++ plugin and NetBeans no more restart (same error).

The log file (as today) is the following

messages.log.1 (on pastebin.org)

In the past I updated NetBeans plugins from inside the IDE, this time the updates freeze it.
 
Re: NetBeans 8.0 - IDE internal updates freeze it

With the last openjdk7 update, the NetBeans IDE can be safely upgraded from previous IDE version [7.4]. Many thanks to openjdk7 maintainers.
