Problem with Nimbus in openjdk7

[Adam Hoka-2]

Hi!

I'm using openjdk7 from pkgsrc as of today's sources, and
it runs Netbeans very well, but i run into problems when i want to
switch to the Nimbus look'n'feel:

$ /opt/jedit/bin/jedit

The test application was jedit as it allows setting theme from a menu, bu i cant get working it with Netbeans
or anything else either.

Looking at the code it seems that something doesnt get initialized, but I couldnt find
the code for the initialization itself.

Any ideas?

Is there any more to that stack trace?  (a "cached by", for example?)

I also found some pretty recent threads about nimbus on the openjdk
site mentioning that it was still a target milstone for import and
that it had been imported as binary and then removed for lack of
sources, so I'm not confident in the current state.

I will have to try it on a remote jconsole to see if it saves any
bandwidth, though.  :)
