java.lang.IllegalStateException: no splash screen available

Has anyone encountered the following error?

I also see this in the IDE Log:

InvalidPathException: can not get inode for org.netbeans.modules.java.JavaDataObject@100accdc[AbstractFileObject@46e5e6f4[java/awt/SplashScreen.java]]:
Illegal char <:> at index 31: java/awt/SplashScreen.java in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\src.zip

I started getting this after updating to NetBeans 8.1 on Windows 7.  I am running NetBeans on 64 bit Jdk 1.8 update 72 as well as my RCP app.  It occurs randomly and frequently in both debug and run modes.  I would guess that this is a race condition.
