I had the same problem with the following combinations on Windows XP,
on two different computers:
NB 6.7.1 + jdk 1.6.0_10
NB 6.7.1 + jdk 1.5.0_20
I checked out Issue #: 153608 and Issue #: 165948
so I have tried all combinations of starting NB with -J-da.
The problem showed up when starting from scratch and
creating a new NetBeans Platform Application,
and then a new Module, and then using New->Action on the module.
However I found that when starting with the sample "Paint Application",
then it works fine.
Still when following the tutorial for "Paint Application" the problem is there.
So I simply used
File->New Project->Samples->NetBeans Modules->Paint Application
to start with and then deleted the modules from Paint Application.
But why do that make a difference?
