Netbeans Swing Application Framework Library

I'm new to netbeans. I'm using netbeans 7.0 and JDK 1.6 When I create a new Desktop Application Project, it comes with an error. When I click on Resolve Reference Problem, it says 'Problem: The project uses a class library called 'swing-app-framework', but this class library was not found.' It states a solution as well.

It says 'Solution: Click Resolve to open the Library Manager and create a new class library called 'swing-app-framework'.' I created a library name 'swing-app-framework'.

Dpkg-reconfigure Exim4-config Is Broken Or Not Fully Installed. Bug 200107-Remove Swing Application Framework library from NetBeans. Summary: Remove Swing Application Framework library from NetBeans Status.

But still the project can not be compiled. What should I do?? The Swing Application Framework is the library that controls desktop applications.

It is part of the NetBeans distribution. It should be in the NetBeans directory tree under java/modules/ext. I suspect your installation has been corrupted somehow. It might be wise to uninstall it and reinstall. If you haven't done too much customization it won't be difficult. If you have to can save options.

There are other options if this is the only problem but missing something that fundamental is not a good sign. There is a plug in replacement for SAF called Better Swing Application Framework (BSAF) that I've been using since they announced end of life planning for SAF. It can be found at: That might help but I still think either your project or your NetBeans installation is somehow hosed. This should take less than 3 min. If you would, please try creating a brand new Desktop Application project.

Don't do anything to it before you run it the first time. It should open a generic window and have a file menu with a quit entry. If that works you SAF installed and working. If that doesn't work and a clean install of NetBeans 7 doesn't fix it, well we have some debuggery in our future.
