Dear Dr. Rubin,
I was able to compile the latest 9.06-n version of Electric for Windows
from the source code repository with NetBeans. I had to make a few
adjustments to the procedure at
https://java.net/projects/electric/pages/BuildInNetBeans as shown below
(in red) in order to do it. The problem with the AntennaRules dialog is
fixed.
Thanks,
Gavin Abo

This is an error in the dialog management that I have fixed. You can
find the latest source code for
com.sun.electric.tool.user.dialogs.options.AntennaRulesTab.java
in the source code repository. The workaround is to switch
technologies before bringing up the preferences dialog, so that the
desired technology is already the default one.
