hi I have installed netbeans with jdk 6 on a notebook , when I try to create new uml project , nothing appears in the diagram editor , the tools of(class,interface,...) appears at its toolbar , but when I drag it to diagram , nothing happen,and the mous becomes in the traffic stopping sign. also the diagram layout background isn't in the normal color of any editor (white), it seems like the editor layout has failed to be added.
Thanks for filing the issue. What build are you using? Could you please provide steps to reproduce the issue too.
hi I have faced the problem on netbeans 6 Milestone 10 , and on beta 1 also, does this utility need another prerequisits rather than jdk? and the steps is just I said before : 1-open the netbeans (class diagram for instance) 2-open new UML project with its defaults 3-the tool bars appear, but with blank diagram, and no ability to add any UML elements I'm using windows xp sp2
Thanks for your prompt response. I have tried on windows xp sp2 on notebook and desktop systems with milestone 10 and beta 1 but unable to reproduce the problem. I read your original description carefully that you indicated you drag the modeling elements to the diagram but nothing happened. I hope this is not the situation but the UML tool is a bit different than the other graphics tool in NB ide. The UML tool currently does not support drag-and-drop. Users have to click on the icon from the modeling palette, eg, Class, Interface, etc., to select the element and then click the left mouse button in an area of the diagram to place. Once you click on the palette icon, you're in the multi-creation mode so you can keep clicking in the diagram to create multiple icons in a single selection. You can then press Esc or right click to deselect the selection. Please confirm if this is how you try to add UML elements.
Here's additional detail from user. Looks like this is an i18n issue. I'll mark it as such. I found some article that applies to my problem, here is the link: http://www.codefund.com/506/null-pointer-exceptions-when-using-uml-module-in-jse8-5060088.shtm it seems that locale is the problem, my locale is arabic egypt, if it's so , how can I solve the problem? I tried to change the locale in windows control panel to en-US, and tried netbeans UML after that and it worked fine , and all diagrams appears fine.please check that with development team !

Once set the locale to ar_EG, I was able to reproduce. Yes, this is a known issue.
In ar_EG locale is the same as in ar_SA locale, here's the result of verification in NB 6.5 for both ar_EG and ar_SA locales. # work in diagram drawing area for the currently supported 5 diagram types: activity, class, sequence, state, use case # Arabic characters can be entered in element names, attributes, operations # typing in invocation & signal elelements in activity diagram is not visible till Enter is pressed then typed text showed up # typing in comment element in any diagram type is not visible till Enter to show up
