It's quite recent in the news
that Netbeans, the Oracle Java
IDE, is going to pass under the Apache
wing. The immediate effect of this news has been to remind me to
upgrade my EEEPC Netbeans installation.
Installation and first run
Netbeans for Linux is provided in the form of an
auto-installing executable script, once downloaded I started it from
shell:
chmod +x netbeans-8.1-javase-linux.sh
sudo ./netbeans-8.1-javase-linux.sh
when started with the “sudo” command the
installation script install Netbeans into the “/usr/local”
directory otherwise the script will install in your home directory.
