Bug 268663 – dev-util/netbeans-6.7_beta-r4 is unable to find "swing app framework" (running as normal user)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mark Nowiasz 2009-05-04 20:27:29 UTC]

After upgrading to beta-r4, Netbeans is unable to find swing app framework.

Furthermore, there's no "Java Desktop Application" template when trying to create a new project.

What's odd about this: when starting Netbeans as root, Netbeans is able to find the framework (and the "Java Desktop Application" template).

Temporarily removing $HOME/.netbeans didn't do any good - still now swing app framework (or the template)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Netbeans
2. Try to open a new project/an existing project using swing app framework
3.

Very strange: after a couple of restarts (both as normal user and as root), creating some desktop applications (as root) and *right after filing this bug* (and mv my .netbeans-safe directory to .netbeans) it works again. I still haven't got the faintest explanation...

[Comment 2 Miroslav Šulc 2009-05-04 21:13:57 UTC]

I just tested this out and default configuration of netbeans does not have desktop apps support enabled. If you are using ergonomics module then you have to activate GUI Builder module to have swing app support enabled (Tools -> Plugins -> Installed tab -> select GUI Builder module -> click Activate). Not sure how this is if ergonomics is disabled.

Closing this bug. If the problem is not in what i wrote, pls reopen the bug.
