What does it mean - it's not visible once written, or there is an exception, ... ?

Would be also nice to see screenshot of the problem, thanks in advance.

I've test Czech diacritics and it seems to work fine.

when type on '~' and then 'a' it just shows 'a' and it should show 'ã'.
My keyboard is pt_PT

I have the same problem but only with the Linux version of both Netbeans RC1 and RC2. The Windows version works fine.

Starting Netbeans as 'sudo netbeans' seems to solve the problem...

yes, if I use sudo it works. But I just don't like the idea of giving root permissions to Netbeans...

Could you please run
java -jar $jdk/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar
and check whether you encounter the same problems? Thanks.

Yes I have the same problem.
Comment 9 Miloslav Metelka 2011-04-15 13:01:31 UTC 
So then it's a JDK issue.
I've tried to search internet for things like "linux input methods java root" but none of the matches seemed relevant. You might want to search for your linux distribution specifically.
