Feature changed by: Federico P (ingchip) Feature #310346, revision 4 Title: java developer openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Federico P (ingchip) Description: Since opensolaris "died" I'm looking for a platform perfectly suitable for java development I'd need the last versions of netbeans , mysql + workbench , mercurial + android + open jdk + ORACLE JDK All of these components can be installed separately, but I'd like a distribution "one click developer" Possibly with self - update of the last issues . Discussion: #1: x c (croco001) (2010-08-23 12:55:56) That would be great! Many administrators still using Ubuntu or something because the needed time to setup an openSUSE for a java developer (or other programming language) is too long. It is not the spended time to install commonly dev-software rather to configurate and update. Annoying! Too much time. Sure that many corporations using other distros. #2: Xavier Callejas (xcallejas) (2010-08-24 01:50:56) Hi, I'm a Java developer since years, and I have used SUSE/openSUSE for java developing since years too. My production server environment is OpenSolaris :s , I will testing Nexenta for this in the future. - I use Netbeans (I always like to download my self because I would prefer to get the last version, repos. not always has the last version of Netbeans, but I understand that Netbeans is in the repos.). - Glassfish (I also like to download my self, because the same reazons, but there is always a bundle of Glassfish + Netbeans to download; do not know if GF is in the repos.). - Java (JRE/JDK), I do not use OpenJDK at all, I like Sun/Oracle implementations. openSUSE has OpenJDK as stock, but I found very easy to swtich with YaST software manager, just uninstall the OpenJDK and install the Oracle one (this is in the update repo. or the online oss repo, I think). - MySQL: I always use the stock openSUSE version, it is so easy to beging to work with MySQL in openSUSE. I do not work with mercurial, do not know about Android either. Just my two cents. xavier.- + #3: Federico P (ingchip) (2010-08-24 11:35:34) (reply to #2) + I appreciated a lot Solaris because of its peculiarities dtrace zfs... + but especially for its velocity with Java.
