Installing Netbeans on Ubuntu 11.10

[DarkAmbient]

Anyone knows if Netbeans will be back in the repos? I've was thinking about upgrading to 11.10 tomorrow actually, but things like this makes me not wanna upgrade. It's not that I dont know how to install otherwise, I'm just lazy.

Sorry for being slightly off-topic.

It is not.

OK so the files have the .sh extension, when I tried to do the chmod +x it doesnt work? Whats the syntax to make the .sh file executable in Ubuntu?

chmod 777 install.sh

will give read/write/execute privlages to all users

Do you have a JDK installed preferably Oracle Java? The commands work fine for me in Mint 11 with the latest Oracle JDK.

I have OpenJDK 6

It is not.

chmod 777 install.sh

will give read/write/execute privlages to all users

Ok, I will try this.

Ok guys I figured it out, I right clicked on the sh file and made it executable via the permissions tab, now Im trying to decide if I should install JUnit or not?

[NattyLight]

Yes it does,

Is this for fun/learning or big-time development? If you ever get into developing large applications, unit testing will become vital, so it may be worth your while to learn how to use the unit test suite that is pretty much the standard.

If you are just messing around and learning how to make simple apps, you might not want to waste your time.
