SAF and Netbeans 8.x
Hi everyone,
I know this can has been kicked down the road before, but while
searching for the problem I have; I didn't really see a solution. I have
this JAVA application that a fellow amateur radio operator wrote using
NetBeans 6.9 on Windows. One can install the third party SAF plugin and
make the application compile/run and one can edit the forms on Windows
using NetBeans 8.1. When I bring the application over to Linux and
install the SAF plugin on NetBeans 8.1, I can compile/run the
application but it keeps giving the error saying the SAF is no longer
supported and I need to use NetBeans 7.x So, why is it I can edit the
forms on Windows but I get the error and can't edit them on Linux? The
forms use Windows fonts and when I run the application on Linux they
don't display correctly. So, I need to be able to edit them on Linux in
order to make the forms display correctly. Other than trying to make
this work with NetBeans Platform, which I really don't want to do, any
ideas on how I might make it so I can edit the forms?

Hi Geertjan,
Looks like it was newbie operator malfunction again... This is the
plugin I used.
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/43836/swing-application-framework-support
I found the problem though. On Linux I was using plugin version 1.0
from the available plugin list in NetBeans. After I uninstalled that
plugin and installed the same plugin I used on Windows, I'm able to edit
the forms. Sorry for the noise. Maybe someone else will benefit from
my goof ups :)

Which SAF plugin do you mean? I know of at least two. Can you provide very
detailed step by step instructions including a link, i.e., a URL, to the
precise and exact Swing Application Framework plugin you mean?

Could it be something to so with the version of Java your running on Linux?
What version are you running on both the windows environment and the
Linux one?

Hi Charles,
My goal is/was trying to make the JAVA application work on Linux. While
it will "run" in the NetBeans 8.1 IDE, the windows/forms are all jacked
up because of the fonts and text size. I guess I could install an old
version of Kubuntu that has a JDK that works with NetBeans 6.9 on
something and see how that works. I think that would take JAVA 1.6 ?

Hello Stan,
This is not really an answer but, since you are using an obsolete
technology and don't want to switch for now, why bother compiling it using
a recent version of NBP? why don't you just use the platform/IDE used
formerly (6.9), if it works fine?
Kind regards,

If the app is open-source you could just publish it somewhere and we could help more directly.
You don't need to open the forms on Linux in order to make them look good on Linux. You could just edit the forms on Windows and use the standard Swing fonts (and *not* hardcoded Windows fonts) and it should look about the same on any operating system.
