On my Windows desktop I can create a new project. It loads for a brief second upon pressing new project where it loads it templates. Then all the templates for projects are there and i can click on jmetests. On my linux laptop running elemenatry os(Ubuntu 12.04) i have a problem. It freezes on the loading templates part for new projects and some of the sub menus are blank till i hove over them.
My laptop has 6 gb of ram, an intel dual core processor. Its not very powerful.
What would you recommend I do so that I can have Jmonkey run better on my linux laptop? I installed the official java jdk from the repositories but i can double check that.
Thank you
Hi
A very recent security update broke OpenJDK (especially Swing) under Ubuntu 12.04. Try to revert this update until it gets fixed. I use another Linux distro and it works because I haven’t accepted this update.

Bug #1204906 “NetBeans, VisualVM, etc. broken with latest securi...” : Bugs : openjdk-6 package : Ubuntu
Edit.2: Possible workaround: install OpenJDK 1.7 instead of OpenJDK 1.6

Thanks installing openjdk 7 vs 6 allowed me to get passed the create project problem i had before.
You’re welcome. Use OpenJDK 1.6 if and only if you have a program that absolutely requires this version. OpenJDK 1.7 update 25 works very well for me under Mageia Linux 2.
