With the OpenOffice.org plugin for NetBeans, compiling does not work, the line jhall.jar=/nb-installation/netbeans-6.0beta1/harness/jsearch-2.0_04.jar must be added to private.properties. I remember something similar issue from previous 5.* version of NetBeans.
Perhaps you are using the 5.0 build harness? Open NetBeans Platform Manager, find the platform set as the target for your module, and make sure you select Harness supplied with IDE in the Harness tab.
I tried this, 'Harness supplied with IDE' in the Harness tab selected, but still doesn't work until I add the line from comment #1.
Might be some override in the OO.o plugin's build scripts, etc. As far as I know it works fine for newly created modules.
