I had a similar problem. If I remember correctly, when the script runide.sh 
actually gets to the part where it runs java to launch netbeans, one of the
arguments passed to java (through a script variable) is literally:

""

That's where the NoClassDefFoundError comes from. Even though it's an
empty string, java still tries to run it as a class (hence no class name
following the error) instead of ignoring it.

Sorry, but I can't remember which variable contains the "", but I do
recall that it was used to pass some sort of argument to java. I ended
up just removing the variable from the whole command to make it run.
You could echo the whole command to help find out.
