The Setting Theme UI Spec calls for an "Add Theme Jar" action and error checking on the Theme node, and suggested a message for a non-identifiable theme jar: The selected JAR file does not contain a Theme. Choose a JAR file that is properly formatted and contains theme information. Currently there is no error checking attempting to add a new libary theme jar via Tools->AddLibrary , Library Type theme libraries (or Class libraries for that matter..) - allows to add a named jar but no jar attached. The "empty" theme will be added to the project themes node. Attempting to switch to this theme via context menu "Set As Current Theme" will work so far as the Information dialog sent to designer (to restart server, clean & build, etc.) but after OK'ing that dialog we immediately get a Red Component Error. (see exception listing below). - same happens for adding a bogus jar without any theme If we implement the action on the project themes node we can avoid the Component error, and exception to the designer screen.
