[SOLVED] NetBeans / JPDA Debugger API module

[Jabz.biz]

Hi, I have a problem with NetBeans 6 on Hardy Heron.

after install i get the message:

Warning - could not install module JPDA Debugger API
JPDA Debugger API - This module requires JDKHOME/lib/tools.jar to be accessible.
This file was not found. Usually this means you are trying to run the IDE with the JRE instead of the full JDK.
If so, please use the --jdkhome command line option to specify a JDK installation.

I found a possible solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688392 BUT: It seems like this solution only fixes or better, surpresses the error message.

I`m curious,...as i have newer versions of Ubuntu and NetBeans, can`t I somehow load the missing JDKHOME/lib/tools.jar? And if yes, how?

Any ideas or newer solutions to that problem?
any help is highly appreciated!
Regards - Jab
