Installing SwingX in Netbeans

Question

I have problem installing SwingX in my Netbeans IDE. I want to play with JXPanel and related components but i could not get right library and get it going.

I tried to download swingx.jar but there is no valid link available in internet. I somehow managed to download swingx-1.6.jar, swingx-beaninfo-0.9.7 and swingbean.jar. I imported these jar files into the new library i created "SwingX" using tools->library and after that went to tools->palette->Swing/AWT Components and added a new palette group called SwingX and added the created library (SwingX) into it. Now i get a block in my IDE as shown in the figure.

Then i added the library into my project which is shown in the picture 2 and when i tried to insert JXXollapsiblePane from the pallete group into a JFrame i am gettign the following error shown in picture3.

Sigh ... the downloads are completely screwed on java.net migration - but they are there: go to the download area and follow the instructions in the description (not the content) of the txt file download-broken. Sorry for the mess, it's beyond our control. As to Netbeans, can't say much (not exactly a fan of NetBeans ;-) - just: be sure to use the same versions. a beaninfo of version 0.9.7 is bound to make problems when used with swingx1.6 (BTW: the most recent release is 1.6.2) – Tussle

Answer 1

Add swingx-1.6.jar to your project instead of swingx-beaninfo-0.9.7
