Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803301102) Java: 1.6.0_05; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP font size 16 Steps: 1. Create NetBeans Module using wizard defaults 2. Open project properties dialog 3. Select API Versioning The dialog does not resize to show all of its text. Assumption is that user does not need to manually resize most windows or dialogs to see all of the UI objects and information in them. I'm running in pseudo localized locale in which each message/label is sometimes longer than in English. To account for that in some locales, translations from English (and some other euro languages) could be shown with longer strings. Also I'm running at font size 16, which is viewed as a valid font size that might be used. Resizing issues are not just related to i18n; they might show to user in English locale if they run at larger font size. Often, these issues happen because the length of some label or message or size of entire window is hardcoded vs using layout managers or other techniques or api to have the windows or the objects in them, dynamically resize. Sometimes, embedding components in a scroll pane will solve the problem.

Resize using horiz scrollbar doesn't help
Can't reproduce what you describe in the last comment. With e.g. --fontsize 18 (JDK 6, Ubuntu 7.10, Ocean) this panel is indeed cramped when initially displayed, but looks fine if you make the dialog a bit bigger. AFAIK the project has no control over how big the dialog box is initially opened, there is just a standard fixed size. Anyway this is no different from any other project type, such as Java SE projects (which are used far more than NBM projects); if your font size is too big, the dialog will probably be cramped until you make the dialog bigger.
