Bug#829503: netbeans: Fails to create a new project as Java Application

[Ismael]

Package: netbeans
Version: 8.1+dfsg3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

Creating a new project

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

1. File/New Project
2. Java/Java Application, press next
3. Complete name and location, ensure "Create Main Class" is selected, press finish

* What was the outcome of this action?

The wizard didn't close, and a silent notification appeared on status bar.

The notification in the details show this stack trace:

* What outcome did you expect instead?

The wizard should complete, and the project appear in the IDE.
The project folder is created, but appears empty.

Previously I had an error reported here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829293,
now I'm using the packages for libatk-wrapper provided in that bug report.

Although it is easy to workaround in the case of creating a simple Java Application
(like choosing to not create the main class), this same exception also occurs when trying to create
a more complex project like the Web Application in the report for bug 829293.
