Netbeans / Eclips

[Armaron]

Hello all,

I'm used to programming in a windows environment, but I recently wanted to try Linux again and I installed Ubuntu. I installed both Netbeans and Eclips and... they're both empty. With empty I mean that you have the basic java projects, but not Web and JSTL or JSP options to choose from, like it had when I installed the programming tools under Windows. What packages do I need to instal to be able to:

- work with JSP
- work with JSF
- work with JSTL
- work with XML
- work with JPA
- run it from a GlassFish server

I half expected it, so it's not a let down. More of an opportunity to learn. But I have no idea where to start.

I know how to code and I know a bit of linux, but not a whole lot. I hope you guys can help me out a bit. :)

Netbeans has a few different packages for specific needs. You can also install them as plugins after downloading it.

Welcome to the forums/linux :)

I suggest reading the stickies they would contain the best information for starting off.

If you installed the "Java" (not "Java SE") version of NetBeans 6.5 then you already have all the plugins you need.
Otherwise go to Tools->plugins and check the corresponding web-oriented packages. Pretty simple.

I did. :) I'm not that new to linux. (I know tux!)

Thanks for the swift responses. :)

I got a new problem. :(

I got everything working (thanks cl333r and drubin), but whenever I run a program, it won't start up. Halfway through the startup process it shuts down.

Try starting the program from the terminal and paste the error message(s) you get here.
