Description mhenney 2009-10-21 18:57:43 UTC 
The Swing GUI Builder was not present after the install of Netbeans 6.7.1 (all technologies bundle) on Fedora 11.
Comment 1 mhenney 2009-10-21 19:07:58 UTC 
After installing NetBeans 6.7.1 (all technologies bundle) on Fedora 11 I am unable to create a new Swing GUI Form
because "Swing GUI Forms" and "AWT GUI Forms" are missing from the Categories. The GUI Builder tab is also missing under
Tools/Options/Miscellaneous. I installed this on two different Fedora 11 machines.

I verified that NetBeans 6.7.1 (all technologies bundle) on Windows that the Swing GUI Forms and AWT GUI Forms both are
present.

Reassigning to form.
Comment 3 Jan Stola 2009-10-22 10:49:56 UTC 
Could you, please, provide more details? What JDK do you use? Do you have org-netbeans-modules-form.jar in 
<NB_INSTALL_DIR>\java2\modules ? Could you, please, attach IDE log (see View>IDE Log in the main menu) to this issue? 
Can you find GUI Builder in Tools>Plugins? Is it among Installed or Available plugins? If it is among Available 
plugins, what happens when you attempt to install it? Thank you in advance for additional information.

Looks like a bug in activation of modules. The problem in 6.7 was that if java cluster was not activated as the first
one (e.g. by opening or creating a Java SE project), it did not enable GUI builder. Should be fixed in 6.8 at least that
way that all file templates are always available.

I was able to reproduce the missing file templates on fresh 6.7.1 by enabling (activating) PHP, then Java web and EE,
then opening a java project. If I do the same in current 6.8 build the templates for GUI builder are there. I think this
was fixed as part of issue 162780. You can verify e.g. on 6.8 beta.

A workaround for your 6.7.1 IDE: go to Tools | Plugin, select Installed tab and activate Java SE (in the view without
details) or GUI builder directly (if you select to Show Details first).
