Hi,
I am in the process of installing Netbeans to use with my Java 1.6.0_03 environment on Linux. Netbeans was unable to locate my Java environment so I had to locate it manually. As far as I can see, it is located in /usr/java/1.6.0_03. This is certainly the directory that the firefox Java plugin is linked too. Netbeans is asking for the Home directory, but when I add the location above I am given an error message and asked to specify the java home directory. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here. Should I be locating a subfolder (I don't see a home subfolder) of some sort within 1.6.0_03, or am I trying to link Netbeans to the wrong folder entirely? I am new to Java and reasonably new to Linux!

Thanks,

Tim

Before installing:

# export JAVAHOME=/usr/java/1.6.0_03

If you are new, you don't need netbeans.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply :-)
I'm new to Java and Linux, but have been programming for a long time. That's why I would quite like to have had Netbeans from the beginning.
I have tried installing Eclipse, but it seems to be running REALLY slowly.
I tried what you said, by the way, but with no luck. Have you any other ideas?

Thanks again,

Tim
