This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Netbeans cannot be pinned to any dock on Linux: Docky, Cairo Dock, AWN etc. This problem becomes more important after Ubuntu 11.04 release, which brings new Unity environment with dock-like Launcher by default, and you cannot pin netbeans to launcher.
please run a plain java swing application (e.g. swingset demo app in your JDK folder) and reopen if that application docks fine. thanks
