For 7.1 the support for the SAF has been added through a new plugin: plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/43853/… – a_horse_with_no_name

According to this bug tracker your are not the first person to stumble on that error, although the OS is not Ubuntu. It might also be the case that you are missing some Java libraries which the Netbeans installation might assume that you might have.

Fresh installations of Ubuntu (amongst others) come packed with the OpenJDK. The full Java SDK needs to be installed separately.

The issue that is causing this is due to a version conflict with Xerces. I found that if you use netbeans -cp:p [location of the netbeans xerces version] then things are good... if not it tries to include it from else where and things go wonky.
