Program crasched trying to create a java.awt.Frame
Created attachment 13550 [details] ide log file
Please describe exactly what you have been doing. Thanks.
Bottom line is. I started NetBeans and using the wizard to create a java.awt.Frame, as soon as I hit the Finish button in the wizard the program exited. I didn't type a name in the wizard for my frame, I just hit the Finish button.
Please ignore my comment 2004-02-20 08:54 I've just tried to reproduce the error and this is how it happened. I started NetBeans and using the wizard to create a java.awt.Frame I almost succeded but the Form Editor didn't show up, instead I got an error which I didn't pay any attention, so I discarded the Frame and created a JFrame instead, (I would like to add AWT components) that's why the Frame. The minute I tried to add a Label (AWT) to the JFrame that's when the exited. Sorry ! Regards Carsten F. H.
The problem is that the way how form editor handles heavyweight (AWT) components does not work on jdk 1.5 (due to changes in the non-public API that is used here). It will have to be analyzed and the form editor adapted. Currently I have no clue how much work this can be. But it's quite possible that AWT components won't work in NB 3.6 with jdk 1.5.
Well - not good news. People might migrate to other IDE's
After all, the adoption to jdk 1.5 was not so difficult. So this issue is hopefully fixed now.
