No NetBeans IDE?

[jorpoveda]

I do not know if this is the correct forum for this thread, but I have a doubt about NetBeans. Why I cant download it from the Ubuntu Software Center?

And if it is not recommended, then which would be the most suitable alternative? I will thank your suggestions.

And if it is not recommended, then which would be the most suitable alternative? I will thank your suggestions.I have it in my software manager so it must be in an Ubunt repository (like Multiverse...). Check your list of software sources.

This said, tomorrow"s software is better written with today's tools, and since Ubuntu doesn't keep that lind of software very up-to-date unless you upgrade Ubuntu itself, you have better grab the current version from Sun/Oracle anyway.

NetBeans could/should be in the partner repository.
But you better download the latest NetBeans 7.1 (http://netbeans.org/).

PS: Saying "I have a doubt about NetBeans" is generally wrong, usually Indians say so when they mean "I have an issue/problem with NetBeans" because for whatever reason they think that "doubt" and "problem" are synonyms in English, they're not.

Thanks for this English correction, I am south american so I dont practice my English skills too often. I downloaded NetBeans from the link in your post and I have an issue with the jdk, which I guess is some kind of compiler...???

^ This thread seems to answer all the problems you mentioned, jorvopeda.

Also see the related bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/822753).

JDK stands for "Java Development Kit".. which does indeed include a compiler as well as a whole bunch of other tools. Wikipedia has a good explanation of what the JDK is and what it contains, Link HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Development_Kit)

Some folks already responded to this.
In short:
"sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk"
or openjdk-6-jdk to install the older version, JDK6.

Then make sure openjdk-7-jdk is your default jdk:
"sudo update-alternatives --config java"

After that the NetBeans installer will install with the default jdk, which in your case is "openjdk-7-jdk", which is the open source edition (http://openjdk.java.net/) of Oracle's JDK 7.
