Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has installed and used NetBeans Java IDE on SuSE Linux? I am interested in learning how to install it and how good it is...general impressions etc. I am working on web development projects mainly and would like to use it for a while working with the jakarta struts frame work.
Hi George, I currently have both the 3.6 and 4.0 beta version of Netbeans loaded onto two 9.1 Pro boxes. I'm still learning Java, so I can't claim any knowledge of how well Netbeans advance features work, but it works great for the simple Java web applets I create with it.
I downloaded a bin file for the install but was not able to install it on my 9.1 Pro version I could not find any docs on NetBeans web site, so if you have any advice for me it is more then welcome.
As for my install, I just downloaded the Netbeans/SDK combo from sun. Opened up a terminal window. cd'd into the proper directory. Ran sux and then ran the bin file. Once setup was finished, I manually created my KDE menu links. I will say that in both cases I did have the SDK which shipped with 9.1 already loaded before I started the installation. Then, since the SDK that came from Sun was newer, I changed all of the Java links in /usr/lib to point to SDK Netbeans load Hope I was some help... Ken
