Description dgreen99 2003-09-02 21:00:16 UTC 
If -ui is specified for an IDE look and feel, 
wizards throw an exception when the "next" 
button is pressed.  There are two workarounds:

1. If -ui is specified, -fontsize must also be 
specified.

or 

2. Don't specify -ui on the command line.

After looking in the code, the defect appears to 
be in the class org.netbeans.core.Main where the 
uiFontSize is not set to a default value when -
ui is specified.
Comment 1 mslama 2003-09-12 13:09:04 UTC 
What ui did you used? What OS and JDK? What NB build? I tried current
dev build on Linux JD 1.4.2 with GTK L&F and could not even start IDE.
I filed issue #36063. Could you attach exception log?
Comment 2 dgreen99 2003-09-12 16:12:00 UTC 
Platform:

Netbeans 3.5.1
JSDK 1.4.2
Windows XP

Note that I get the same exception no matter what wizard is used.
