Re: [platform] Settings dir for platform applications

[Laszlo Kishalmi]

I think most of the platform applications would do fine with the same 
userdir. At least I'm using netbeans-dev Snap for quite a while now 
which uses the same user directory for more than a year now through many 
NetBeans releases. it just runs fine, just make sure that you can read 
your old configs. On the platform side I'd not expect big changes, it is 
pretty stable for years.

The NetBeans IDE doesn't use old settings directories for later versions,
is it advised for a platform application to do the same?

Perhaps change it (the settings dir) every time one uses a new RELEASE 
of the platform?


I'm able to handle my own changes in the preferences, but I don't know 
what's going on in the NetBeans (Platform) settings.


How do you handle it in platform apps?

Re: Stopping Tomcat

[HRH]

Mark, 
Likewise, I always try to installthe binaries and certainly avoid using space 
in directory names. Vis-a-visTomcat, I started that way, however, the 
localhost:8080 would not bring up theserver management GUI per documentation. 
Finally, coerced by frustration, Idecided to wipe out everything and use the 
installer instead. Now, that I havediscerned more about Tomcat, I am sure on 
the next official release, I willrevert to using the zipped binaries than the 
installer.

 

Thanks for sharing your heuristics.

 HRH,

In general I don't recommend running Tomcat as a service on any platform 
when it's controlled by NetBeans.

1. On Windows

I create a directory (called Apache) somewhere where there's no spaces 
in the directory path. This is no longer strictly necessary, but it's 
nice to keep all the tools in one place.

I then download the zip archive of the Tomcat that I'm interested in.

I unzip it, and make the appropriate modifications in tomcat-users.xml. 
I edit the tomcat-users.xml file by hand.

I also put jars in %CATALINA_HOME%\lib, like the MySQL JDBC jar, 
activation jar (since I'm running on JDK 11 mostly), and mail jars. Add 
more (postgresql, sql), if you're running more services.

Finally, I point my NetBeans to this installation.

2. On Linux

See the above, use the tar.gz archive instead, and place the directory 
in an area under your user's control.

This has several advantages. I don't use a system account to control 
Tomcat. Starting and stopping can be done through NetBeans or the 
command line (nice when I have to switch to JDK 8 for legacy work). I 
can easily browse both the Tomcat logs and application logs.

Finally, I can configure multiple versions of Tomcat. I normally run 
only one development Tomcat at a time, so I don't bother changing the ports.

Right now I have one Tomcat for each of the major released versions 
(7.0, 8.5, 9.0), and an additional 8.5 version that is being tweaked to 
log via log4j2 and fluentd. Next on the list is Tomcat 10.

In short, I don't recommend running Tomcat as a service in a developer 
environment.

. . . just my two cents

 Connor,In my case, the Tomcat shutdown port was configured to 8005 by the

working fine now.
The user and password was setup properly by the installer, so I did not have to

RE: Problem with netbeans flagging list with red underline

[Nelligan, Steven M]

Found that if I restore the default .m2 location,  the source validates 
correctly (no red lines).

How do I configure Netbeans to use the redirected .m2 folder for the source 
scan?

From: Nelligan, Steven M 
Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2020 11:06 AM
To: NetBeans Mailing List 
Subject: Problem with netbeans flagging list with red underline


Not sure if this is a Maven or a NetBeans issue/feature/problem.

I am running Netebeans 12.0, java 8, and Maven version 3.6.3.

If I clear the Cache the project shows up with no red underlines.

If I run with no Maven “Global Execution Options” I can build a project with 
Clean and Build.
It builds correctly, and the source does not show any red underlines.

If I add the following to “Global Execution Options”:  -gs 
C:\dev\Projects-java8\.m2\settings.xml -s 
C:\dev\Projects-java8\.m2\settings.xml,
Copy the default .m2 folder to the new location, change the setting.xml file in 
the new location as needed and rename the default .m2 folder to save_m2

The build works, but then the red under lines show up in the Netbeans project.
Just a NOTE, a new .m2 folder does not show up in the default location.  I’m 
assuming the above settings are working.

We are upgrading our projects from Java 7 to Java 8 and want to be able to run 
multiple instances of Netbeans without either touching  or accessing the 
other’s data.

Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated,

Re: Stopping Tomcat

[Connor Cook]

Hi HRH,

Below are two things I had to do to get Tomcat to be usable for me, though
this is in Netbeans 11.1 so the process may have changed.

In order to get Tomcat to be stoppable and restartable by Netbeans, I
needed to set the shutdown port in Netbeans (right-click on Tomcat in the
'Services' tab, click Properties, and the shutdown port is one of those
properties) and in Tomcat's server.xml (I was able to right-click on Tomcat
in the 'Services' tab and change the server.xml, I found the file in
"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf" if you need
it).

I also needed to set up a user for Tomcat with the manager-script
permission in tomcat-users.xml (for me that's in "C:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf" like server.xml), and then set that
user and password in the properties for Tomcat in Netbeans.

Hopefully that helps,

Connor
