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:
- Switch off Beryl Window Manager
- Or run:
nano etc/environment
and add this line:
AWT_TOOLKIT=”Mtoolkit”

sudo nano /etc/environment
you must to have root privileges to do that

Well, don’t you have them,Alex?:)

vi /etc/environment
be a man, use a real editor

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
