Aqua Status and Build Process Questions

ok.

How did you set OpenJDK 7 as 'startup VM' for NetBeans ?

Using something like ?

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home

I tried with this and also by defining OpenJDK 7 as primary Java but I
still see Java 1.6.0 JDK as running JVM in NB 7.0.1rc1 :

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 RC1 (Build 201106222100)
Java: 1.6.0_26; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.1-b02-383
System: Mac OS X version 10.7 running on x86_64; MacRoman; fr_FR (nb)
Userdir: /Users/henri/.netbeans/7.0.1rc1
