If Netbeans or Java Studio Creator 2 (JSC) don't have any display elementes after installing in Linux, be sure to make this setting in the /etc/netbeans.conf or /etc/creator.conf file before you go crazy.
add "-J-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit" to the netbeans_default_options
netbeans_default_options="-J-Xms96m -J-Xmx384m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -J-Xverify:none -J-Dnetbeans.javacore.background_scanning=true -J-Dsunappsrvint.home=/home/isaac/sun/Creator2_1/SunAppServer8 -J-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit"
