Netbeans 5.5 with Beryl on Ubuntu

20 May

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"

    Haha, okay-okay, even though for me there is no big difference between vi and nano ;)

    Just add in $NETBEANS_HOME/bin/netbeans file :
    export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

    Thanks all – I followed Leonid’s advice (gotta admit, man – I’m with you on VI ;) but didn’t get a result until I followed Emmanuel’s post too – it works beautifully, thanks! No more quitting Beryl every time I want to develop!!! :)

    Your welcome, Dagwud.
    Yeah, that was really annoying to switch on and off Beryl during the work, since once you install it, it’s really hard to quit using it :)
