Both NetBeans 7.0.1 and 7.3.1 will now work.

Post by Obsidian »

Hello I am new to Linux and Mint is the first one I've used so far.

My problem is that I have tried to download Netbeans via Synaptic package manger and that was outdated, version 7.0.1, it opens fine but when I go "new project" it tell me to "Please wait" and I cannot continue any further.
So I tired to download version 7.3.1 from the site, It tells me warning could not install some modules and the gui locks up. What am I doing wrong?
I am using the latest version of Mint Linux with KDE if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Netbeans runs in the Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) and technically does not have to be "installed". You can open a terminal and cd into the netbeans/bin directory that you unpacked and just type netbeans and it should start.

You also have to make sure you installed a java JDK first. You can install the openjdk using the package manager or install the oracle jdk which may work better using the [url=http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html]instructions here[/url].

I'm having exactly the same issue with Mint 15 and Netbeans. I had it set running fine (on an older laptop) with Mint 14. I've got openjdk installed. It just crashes with an error window saying various modules not found.

Netbeans needs the openjdk development files: openjdk-6-jdk (sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk) as out of the box only openjdk-6-jre is installed and afterwards it should work.

Okay--I figured it out. The problem was that Netbeans wasn't looking in the right place for the JDK. I reinstalled, and made sure to check when it asked to select the Java folder. Now it works.

All right, I spoke too soon. Now when I try to start a new project, ithangs while loading the types of projects. Sigh.
