Re: NetBeans 12 and 4K monitor

[Patrik Karlström]

Not sure if this was mentioned but the following works for me.
GDK_SCALE=2 netbeans

Source: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2360

I tend to prefer lodpi on my XPS because of high battery consumption and
fan noise when on hidpi.

Re: NetBeans 12 and 4K monitor

[Laszlo Kishalmi]

Make sure that you are using JDK 11+ when running NetBeans. The latest 
JDK is recommended as the HiDPI support is becoming better over the 
time. Honestly, I'd just use my display as 1080p. I've did the same with 
my 2nd generation GalagoPro (that came with a 3K display). I've never 
regretted that setting.

Laszlo,

Thanks to your suggestion, now I know where is the folder for the 
local netbeans configurations.
Anyway, the settings that I found by Googling the subject of netbeans 
and Hi res monitors didn't make any change. I still get microscopic 
icons and weird fonts in netbeans 12.

Don,

I just connected my Dell XPS 13 to an old monitor, made the adjustments in
Ubuntu, and now, I can see the netbeans perfectly running.
Still searching for a way to configure netbeans so I can use it with the
laptop alone.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Maven deployment plugin for JavaFX

[Bradley Willcott]

Hi David,

Hope this helps with the packaging. I have cut this out of one of my 
projects:





   org.codehaus.mojo
   exec-maven-plugin
   1.6.0
   
   
   Zip Binary Jar and libs
   package
   
   exec
   
   
   zip
   
${project.build.directory}
   
false
   
true
   
   -r
   
${project.build.finalName}.zip
   
${project.build.finalName}.jar
   libs
   
   
   
   


org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-jar-plugin
3.2.0



true
libs/
org.myapp.Main

true

true





org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-dependency-plugin
3.1.1


copy-dependencies
prepare-package

copy-dependencies


runtime
test

${project.build.directory}/libs








The /maven-dependency-plugin/ is used to copy all the dependencies into
the 'libs' directory.

The /maven-jar-plugin/ is used to add the classpathPrefix: 'libs/' to
the manifest.  The forward slash at the end is required.

The /exec-maven-plugin/ is used to package everything into a 'zip'
archive for release.  Just unpack this zip file on the target system,
and set the CLASSPATH to include the jar file, and all should work.
I have as yet only tested this on my local system.

Cheers,
Brad.

Chris,

Hopefully some of the following will help.  We too did not want to use 
XCode (much!).  You have to install it and use certain upload/notarise 
tools, but that works.


So, my steps list is:

1.    Set up an Apple developer ID, pay fee etc.  using an 
email – we use a@b.c  in the following.


2.    Create and download a DeveloperID signing cert  to your 
development Mac's  login keychain from 
https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list


3.    Create and download a Developer ID profile to System 
Preferences/Profiles.


4.    Build your project with Ant since Ant puts all the 
library files in a folder called lib in dist.  If Maven is your 
primary environment, just build the top level of the project with 
Ant.  If you know how to make Maven put all the dependencies in one 
place ready for jpackage please tell me !


5.    Local test the Ant project and if it behaves proceed.

6.    Make a Mac icon.

7.    Using the pre-release Java 15 (you will have to download 
it) then run jpackage with something like the following script.  I’ve 
hacked it a bit for confidentiality reasons.  There may be some space 
characters that need removing!.


export JAVA_HOME="/Users/myuser/Java Downloads/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home"

export PATH=" 
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Users/myuser/Java

echo $PATH

NetBeans 12 - how to point to LSP

[Ewan Slater]

Hi,

Could someone please point me to documentation tutorial for how to point 
Netbeans to an LSP server (running on my laptop)?

Ideally I’d like to be able to do this via the UI rather than editing config 
files directly.

Cheers,

RE: NetBeans 12 and 4K monitor

[Lister Jonathan]

Hi Klerman,
I have been happily using NetBeans with 4k displays for a few years now, albeit 
on physically large external monitors, not small laptop displays.

One of the tips that is often missed is to make sure that you are running 
NetBeans with a base JDK (netbeans_jdkhome) version > 8. JDK 9 brought support 
for HiDPI graphics, see https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/263

I am running NetBeans 11+ on JDK 13 with 2160 x 3840 (yes, portrait – actually 
two of those side by side) and scaled to +175%. With those settings I no longer 
need to change –fontSize in netbeans.conf

Hope this helps ;-)

I feel your pain.  When I got my XPS-13 it had Ubuntu 16 installed.  It has

NetBeans 8 logging stream

[Christophe DOLCI]

Hello all,

I’m using Netbeans RCP 8.0 (I know that’s an old one) like a framework for my 
application and, when I called it in script, all the log (fine, standard, 
error) is write in the stream stderr.
I would like to receive separate properly the stdout with my working logs and 
the stderr with all the error (LEVEL.SEVERE).

As I understand, by default, netbeans RCP log all in stderr stream, right? Do 
you know any tip to change this?

Regards

Christophe

Re: NetBeans 12 and 4K monitor

Just do a:

mkdir $HOME/snap/netbeans/common/data/12.0/etc
cp /snap/netbeans/current/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf 
$HOME/snap/netbeans/common/data/12.0/etc/



You would be able to customize the NetBeans config at: 
$HOME/snap/netbeans/common/data/12.0/etc/netbeans.conf

RE: NetBeans 12 and 4K monitor

[Rob Walker]

Weird – I was pleasantly surprised with NB 11 on the XPS13 I had for a while. 
Seemed to handle scaling much better than past editions, or Eclipse. I forget 
though if I had to make some specific Java setting for it. I do kind of vaguely 
remember one.
