NetBeans and XGL problems

[igknighted]

I am trying to use the NetBeans IDE while logged into an XGL session, but I am having some issues. I installed via the binary from Sun, and it installed fine. The program runs, I don't get any error messages even when running from the terminal, but after the loading splash when the program's window comes up it is blank. I can hold my mouse over the window and it will act like things are there (resize handles within the window, the hand for links, etc.) but it is a blank white screen. Is there a way around this or will it not work with XGL?

I have the exact same problem.. and didnt find a solution for it.
But im a begginner at Java programming, so I use BlueJ.. Its only for beginners, But works fine though..

For a beginner let me recommend using a text editor and the console tools... fast and effective, plus (at least for me) it gets you closer to the program. I use Kate because I use KDE, I recommend SciTE for GNOME.

try with this, put into the script file of NetBeans this line: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
save the file and have fun!

hey, thx for the help! Just wanted to add that i tried putting the export code at the end and it didn't work, but placing it at the top worked fine.

i'm using netbeans 5.5 and jdk6 and beryl on feisty
i dont use this method

try with this, put into the script file of NetBeans this line: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit save the file and have fun!

i simply load netbeans with the blank window, use beryl manager to change from beryl to metacity (GNOME window manager), and then load back beryl

it works
