Please provide steps to reproduce the problem, best would be to also attach a sample project here. Setting text via resource map normally works, so it is hard to tell what is wrong in your case just from one sentence.

Sample Project

Steps I took to get this bug were:
Created the project from the Desktop Application template
Added the Options menu via the GUI builder
Added the first menu item via the GUI builder
Copied the first menu item and pasted the the next 2
Changed the text via 'Edit text'
Added code to manage the button state

The attached project is the one with the bug.

I was also having this issue. I created a JPopupMenu through the GUI and added some menu items. I set the menu items' text through the GUI, but it's blank when you display the menu.

If I uncheck the "Define as Resource" option, it works fine. The autogenerated code for my menu item (when defined as a resource) includes this:

itemSetThreshold.setText(resourceMap.getString("itemSetThreshold.text"));

When I went through it with the debugger, resourceMap.getString("itemSetThreshold.text") is set to null. 

However, when I did "Clean and Build", it fixed it.

I am not sure how the project got into this state but Clean and Build fixes the problem.

Anyway, this issue is related to Swing Application Framework whose support has been discontinued in NetBeans 7.1 => I am closing this issue as 'will not fix'.
