title: Design view in Netbeans won't load
body: <p>I started to learn swing and downloaded netbeans to work through the tutorials. Unfortunately, when I create a JFrame design view hangs instead of loading and the Navigator and Inspector panes just show up empty.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>System details:  
  Linux Mint Maya
  Netbeans version 7.0.1  
  java 1.6.0_24
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>
