JDBC form wizard missing?
Hi there,
I downloaded Sun Studio Ent 8.1, but i found there is no JDBC form wizard and also in the palette the Bean is empty no component in there. Am i missing something?
I follow the tutorial of Netbeans available from the net because i thought they are the same. Am i right?
Thank you, Kai

Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 is based on NetBeans 5.0 and therefore NetBeans 5.0 documentation should in general apply to it as well.
If bean palette is empty, it could mean that the userdir is corrupted somehow; can you try running the ide with a fresh userdir?

I tried it with a standard java application; when i tried 'Window | Palette', the beans palette was opened but was empty. But when i right-clicked on the project, selected New and selected JFrame, the frame was created and the palette filled up.

Thank you KarthikR for your help. I have to kick my self and sorry i did not make myself clear in my posts. I'll try again.
All the window pallette's components (Swing, Awt, Borders) are fine they have components in them. However, the problem is with the Beans, there is no component in it.
Do i need to download it and if so how can i do that?
Thank you very much for sticking with me,

I think the beans category in the palette manager is designed for users to add their own javabeans and as such is empty in a plain vanilla NB/JSE installation; i.e NB itself does not ship with any beans in this category. Users can javabeans that either they created or downloaded or obtained from third-party vendors. In Help | Contents, please search for 'palette' and you will see a help topic titled 'Adding a bean to the palette window'.
