This error occurs with Versions Netbeans IDE 6.9.1, IDE 7.0.0, IDE 7.0.1 This error does not occur with IDE 6.9.0(!) Platform: - Windows XP (SP3) - Java RT 6.0 - Start Netbeans IDE - Create a new Java desktop application - New files are created - as soon you switch into design mode of the view class , the IDE gets stucked and the wait cursor does not disappear any more - opening the same project with IDE 6.9.0 works fine
Could you please generate thread-dump at the time the IDE is stucked, attach it here and reopen ? Thanks in advance. http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump

This is a regression in JDK. It occurs on JDK 6 update 21 and 22. You should use update 23 or later to avoid this problem. See issue 187697 for details.
