Problem with net beans

davholla · 03-25-2005, 03:12 PM

I am trying to use net beans however I can not compile anything.
I have tried to configure it but I can not find how to add the compiler information to properties.
Any ideas ? It could be just be tiredness.
Do I need anything else other than Java (I have 1.5.0 installed).

Thanks in advance for the help.

What are the symptoms ?
What have you installed (versions) ?

To check whether your Java version is used properly do: Tools > Java Platform Manager.

This should show which SDK is installed. If none showing then hit the "Add platform" button and add your Java installation.
NetBeans should run/compile OK if this is set right.

Edit: It is the SDK you installed not just the JRE?

In tools platform I have :-
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/rt.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/i18n.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/sunrsasign.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/jsse.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/jce.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/charsets.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/classes
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/ext/dnsns.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib/ext/localedata.jar

There is nothing else that is right isn't it ?

I have installed Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 that is right isn't it ?

That looks right for the NetBeans setup - same java files as mine at least barring the minor version number but that shouldn't make a difference. Mine are actually installed in /opt but again this shouldn't make a difference.

What errors exactly are you getting, say for a little "Hello World" program?

Something that might help is in the Help section.

Help > Help Contents > IDE Basics > Working with Projects > Setting the Target JDK

Sorry when I say I can not compile I mean that the option is greyed out under build.
I have looked at the help files to see what to do to fix this but I can not see them.

But the JDK is set up at least as far as I can see.

Just had a little thought - Is your app set as the main project in NetBeans.

Should show in bold on the file or project lists - the program that is run or compiled by the buttons at the top are only the main project.
To set a project as main - right click on project name in project window and then click Set Main Project.

To compile individual files from any project, right click on a source file and select Compile, or left click then F9.

A further thought, going back to jlliagre's questions

Which version of NetBeans are you running?

davholla · 03-26-2005, 03:04 PM

I have Java 1.5.0 and net beans 4.0.
I think I have the SDK installed, how do I check ?

davholla · 03-26-2005, 03:12 PM

I tried to create a new project as opposed to opening a pre existing .java file and it set up the classpaths and now it works !!!!
Thanks to both of you for your help.
I can not believe that you have to create a project to get the paths okay !!!
You are not any good with printers are you :-

NetBeans is all project based now as far as I can tell - a bit different from how 3.6 and back where you could get away with "loose" files.

Not so good at printers I'm afraid, gave up on Linux print drivers and reverted my old P166 to a W2K print server
