Cannot start Netbeans 8.0.1 after JAX-RPC Web Services plugin installation

Question

I have a problem with Netbeans. I have installed the JAX-RPC Web Services from http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

But, after restart the IDE when the plugin is installed, Netbeans don't start newly.

The message log of Netbeans shows the following text:

Anyone know how to solve this error? I need to use this plugin because it requires a project that I have been assigned at work.

Thanks.

Here a solution (work with NetBeans 8.0.2):

download the listed archives below from:

http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/release72-au/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/extra/

• org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpc.nbm
• org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpc16.nbm
• org-netbeans-modules-websvc-jaxrpckit.nbm
• org-netbeans-modules-websvc-registry.nbm

Once you can start NetBeans without problems install as downloaded plugin (Tools>Plugins>Downloaded>Add Plugins...), its worked for me. enjoy
