Can't deploy from netbeans or eclipse

[Ivan913]

My team is switching to java this year and after a long period of doing nothing, we're trying to get it working with our last year's robot. After re-imaging the cRIO and installing the plugins to both netbean and eclipse (We have both because we don't know which one we'll like more so we're trying them both out), the code (on both IDEs) refuses to deploy. Eclipse just straight up crashes while netbeans gives a long error message (I can't remember it right now). What I can't tell is whether its a connection issue or a software issue. I have the latest version of netbeans using the version 4.14 of the plugins. The cRIO is using v28. I have the classmate running the driver station with the ip set at 10.35.60.5, while the laptop I'm using to program and deploy with is using the ip 10.35.60.6. The router has been configured properly and both laptops have no problem connecting to the cRIO.
Any advice?
