Actually it happens with any non-metal look and feel. I tried Motif and got the same problem. I am using netbeans 3.5.1 under MacOS 10.2.6/Java 1.4.1_01. Help on this one, Metal looks real ugly on Aqua desktop :-)

Created attachment 11247 [details] This file fixes this problem with different look and feels. I made a one line change in the method that causes the exception
Created attachment 11248 [details] Here is the compiled class file. If you replace the current one in openide.jar file in your lib directory your problem will hopefully be fixed.
The two files I have attached above seem to fix this problem. If there are any further steps that I would need to make to get the patch tested/commited please let me know. -Ben Childs
Ben, thanks for the fix. This bug seems to be fixed in Java 141 DP102 update.

This is also a problem with Java 1.4.2 on windows. So AFAIK you would need this patch with windows using the windows look and feel. Thanks for making the patch. -Ben Childs
Ben, you are right, it does not work on windows using the windows look and feel.
