Tonic works well with NetBeans. However, due to a minor bug in NetBeans, some NetBeans specific constants are not set correctly. To make NetBeans work with Tonic, copy the toniclf.jar file into

   [NetBeans folder]/lib/ext

Then, start NetBeans with this command line:

   runide -ui com.digitprop.tonic.TonicLookAndFeel -fontSize 11

By setting the font size for NetBeans, you force NetBeans to set the missing constants correctly. Without this option, you will get exceptions in the “New” wizard (and who knows where else…).
