The NetBeans 6.5 Beta build was published. The build should be more stable then a daily build. The most annoying issues has been fixed.
However it is still Beta release therefore don't be surprised that an exception appears when you are using the IDE. Actually this is the purpose of the beta. Let us know about the exception. It should be easy with Exception Reporter. When the exception appears click "Review and Report Problem" and the IDE will do the rest for you. A comment that will help us to reproduce the exception is highly recommended.
