Netbeans -- no error message but can't create a project

netbeans, project

Solution

Okay, this is how I solved it:

- Install Oracle's Java version: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux

- Start Netbeans

The error only occurs if using the openjdk ...

Problem

This error is driving me crazy for the past couple of hours. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (clean install). What I did afterwards: update everything install JDK (using synaptics) install netbeans (using synaptics, this is version 7.0.1) I can start NetBeans just fine but I can't create any project. If I choose "New Project" it keeps saying "Please wait..." under "Categories". I also tried installing versions of netbeans manually. Starting them as root ... nothing helps! :-(
