Since Netbeans uses a typical Java Interface, using Beryl becomes a bit confusing, because you’ll see only a blank window!

This can be solved in two ways:

1. Switch off Beryl Window Manager
2. Or run:
   nano etc/environment

   and add this line:

   AWT_TOOLKIT=”Mtoolkit”

Good news for Netbeans 5.5 users - now the bug is fixed by the development team of UML Modeler pack.

Thanks, guys, now there won’t be any headaches of transfering

For those who need UML integrated in their Netbeans IDE, there are two solutions:

1. Wait for the final release of Netbeans 6.0 (most of essential modules go out the box)
2. Start Netbeans - > Tools ->Module Manager -> Update.. ->Chose UML - Enjoy developing UML with Netbeans!

Working on one of my projects, I had to create some UML diagrams, not only for submitting it to the supervisors, but also for tracing the process of software development, and analysis stages.

I was really amazed trying to install new UML Modeler Plug-in for NetBeans IDE and seeing a nice shiny window:

“You can install the packages, but you won’t activate them!”

Just because of some dependencies incompatibility, their official website offered you a partial product: “Watch, but don’t touch!”

Hopefully, the development team decided to include some of those necessary plug-ins in the main part of NetBeans 6.0 version, so there would be no need of installing it again. From now on, I’ll have to switch to ArgoUML to finish up the stuff and patiently waiting for bug fixes of module dependencies
