Learn Java with Netbeans on Ubuntu

March 6, 2008 by choxblog

I’ve made a decision to learn Java again to prepare myself before graduated. Flash back my memory about this programming language (just the basic).

But this time I wanna learn on my ubuntu machine. And this is my a little note, when I was installing Java+Netbeans on Ubuntu.

1. Install the latest JDK

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

To verify that the installation was successful, execute

java - version

You may get the result like this:

java version “1.6.0_03″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

To make sure that you use Java from Sun, execute

sudo update-alternatives –config java

Set JAVA_HOME path by add this line at the bottom of file /etc/environment

JAVA_HOME=”/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun”

or just execute

export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun”

And You may include some packages to install, like :

  1. sun-java6-bin - Contains the binaries
  2. sun-java6-demo - Contains demos and examples
  3. sun-java6-doc - Contains the documentation
  4. sun-java6-fonts - Contains the Lucida TrueType fonts from the JRE
  5. sun-java6-jre - Contains the metapackage for the JRE
  6. sun-java6-plugin - Contains the plug-in for Mozilla-based browsers
  7. sun-java6-source - Contains source files for the JDK

2. Download the latest Netbeans with ‘All’ version (remember the file extension is *.sh), from this.

3. Install Netbeans (ex: netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh)

sh netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh

This will triger the netbeans installer and just follow the instructions to complete the installation process.

Im So Tired

July 28, 2007 by choxblog

It’s so crazy..

Eventhough I’m in Medan for an holiday, but i dont have time to have fun or just take a rest for a while.

My schedule is very full.. I must work at my internet cafe (tUrNIX) as admin. I must re-installing all pc’s to the latest ubuntu version (feisty fawn). And I have got a project as system analysis to re-build system of a company. And the last, sometimes I must help my parents(as a good child) to selling “BRI-pants” at Pajak Sentral…
