I've just started Netbeans 6.5 RC2 and started a new visual web jsf project and instead of the design page an exception occured. It is a continuous problem and design page is not showing up. I've downloaded the basic ide and then the plugin for web and jsf.

I assume (this appears here too often), it is again the issue with iReport module, which breaks the NB library classes to be loaded (, please, check you have the iReport module installed). In order to get the VW (and potentionally other modules using the mentioned NB library modules) to work, you need to disable the iReport module. In any case, passing there to get the iReport module fixed.
