AFAIK Eclipse does not use Java Swing but rather SWT, so it may
not be the best application to use for testing. JEdit seems simple,
maybe it's even easier to debug than Freeplane, I don't know.

Ok, great to hear!

Are you trying to build master from here
  https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane
?

It may be easier to fix this in "1.3.x" branch, which definitely builds
with ant and without maven (IMHO master does not use maven yet, either?).

If you can reproduce it, you will definitely get help from us!
(so far we haven't been able to reproduce it on our machines!)

Where do you get forms-1.0.5.jar from?
I think we're using 1.2.1:
  https://github.com/freeplane/freeplane/blob/master/freeplane/lib/forms-1.2.1.jar

jortho is built from the freeplane sources.

simplyhtml uses a versioning different from Freeplane.

Not sure whether we have NetBeans devs, but we can probably help you.

I hope you only want to debug the Java part of OpenJDK :-)
