Hi all.
As you may know, I'm the maintainer of Java packages in openSUSE.
For last several weeks, I have worked on new netbeans package for openSUSE.
The current situation is bad, because we have two different packages:
1.) One out dated in non-free repository
2.) One up-to-date in Education, but not built from source code
I used netbeans specfile created by Sun's developers for Fedora and Mandriva
and imported all other necessary dependencies (freemarker, lucene, hsqldb,
excalibur-*, ...), so this package have a good quality and should be
supported.
Those packages was submitted to Factory. Some of them are in, some are in
internal pre-Factory repository, some are still waiting on legal review and
netbeans itself and netbeans-subversion are waiting on changes in subversion
package, which needs to be propagated in Factory.
The new netbeans package (including dependencies) is currently available in
Java:packages [1] BuildService project. I spent some effort to make it
building on openSUSE 11.1 too to make it easier for you to test it. The
Factory version is now blocked by another update of toolchain, so the 11.1
should be installable immediately.
This version will replace the netbeans package in nonfree repository in
openSUSE 11.2. It would be nice if Education project will use it too, but not
sure what they exactly needs.
So please try to install and test this new netbeans package and let me know if
anything is wrong. In current build the binary file is missing in /usr/bin. To
start of netbeans please use:
/usr/share/netbeans/6.5/bin/netbeans

BTW: I'm going to vacation and I'll be back on Monday, so I'll be unable to
respond.
Thanks for your help

Hi all,
I've updated the java-1_6_0-openjdk in Java:openjdk6:Factory to
* openjdk b16
* icedtea snapshot cc658d9f4a64
* hotspot snapshot fc6a5ae3fef5
This version of icedtea patchset has removed a support for old gcjwebplugin
(not used in any of released versions in openSUSE) plugin and contains some
webplugin and webstart related bugfixes.
But more interesting change is that this version provides an integration with
a systemtap [1] (a Linux equivalent of dtrace [2] from Solaris).
