netbeans 6.9.1 - can't select framework anymore

[dgoosens]

hi Ubunteros !!

I have been using Ubuntu and Netbeans for quite a while now... and never had any real issues...
But since a couple of days, I encounter this very strange bug...

It has become impossible for me to select a Framework when creating a new project. Everything works, I just can not check the checkbox...

This checkbox issue happens in other parts of Netbeans as well...

I am pretty sure this is due to some updated Java package... but it seems rather difficult to me to figure out where to start looking.

Using Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
Netbeans 6.9.1
JDK openjdk-6-jdk

So I wondered if any of you are encountering the same trouble... and if so, if you figured out a way to make it work as it used to.

By the way, it seems the same issue occurs on Ubuntu 10.10 as stated here:

Thanks a lot in advance,

I found a solution...
if others have this same problem...
I wrote down the solution here:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191959

1. install sun-java
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

2. gksudo gedit /usr/local/netbeans-6.9.1/etc/netbeans.conf
set netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"
(check your paths !)

3. save, close and start Netbeans...

About check paths.. I`ve just spent a lot of time, trying to figure out that NetBeans needs tools.jar and dt.jar to start all the modules. Just copied the lib folder from default-jdk to sun-6-jdk.
Maybe this will save someone`s time..

Is there any way to solve the problem without using Sun Java??
