I vaguely remember using this option for a native lib wrapper module in early days, since the JVM can load the same native lib only once without causing trouble. So by adding the module to the platform/IDE made sure that it was in front of the class path and it wasn't loaded twice. But today you would use other tricks to achieve something similar. But its not there to encourage running NB with root rights. I prefer to install binaries under binaries locations, which is /usr/lib here. /home is for data and configs. Helps to minimize backup footprint an allows all users to profit from the installed binaries. (esp with root rights) Under which conditions it is possible to install in shared directories without root rights? e.g by launching nb from the platform independent zip. but as mentioned before: nb-javac is part of NetBeans - it does not need to be installed since it is already there.

Yes! Thank you, it is working perfectly now.

Re: Netbeans 22 does not allow JDK 1.7 or 1.8
Is there a minimum JDK 8 version that is required in order to be recognized by NetBeans? That would be an interesting question to answer (and possibly document). I know that there are some Maven plugins that have a minimum required JDK 8 version. I wonder if the original author could go and download the latest JDK 8 from an appropriate vendor and try that. If that solves the problem, then maybe the section that offers to download a JDK needs to be looked at. I don't know, since I manage all of the Java versions on my platforms independently of NetBeans. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ On 3/2/2024 8:26 AM, Michael Bien wrote: its possible that there is a bug somewhere.

Javadoc - using MS-Edge
Hi there!
In my Debian 12, I use Netbeans 21 (funny revers versions, ja, ja, ja)
as my IDE.
I'd like to use MS-Edge as the output browser for javadoc, for that I
have added it to Tools > Options > General > Web Browser.
---
/Edge is not an option in the pull-down menu,so, I added it like this
Web Browser > Name : Edge | Process:
/opt/microsoft/msedge/microsoft-edge | Argument : -remote
"openURL({URL})" | Argument Hint : {URL} = URL of the page to be loaded
by the web browser
/
---
However, when Edge opens the url for the javadoc, it opens it with the
following url address signature:
http://openurl(file/home/USER/Documents/NetbeansWorkSpace/JavaSE/Test/dist/javadoc/index.html)/
/
Thus, the page is not open saying "Hmmm… can't reach this page".
What did I do wrong? What can I do to get Edge to open the javadoc properly?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Netbeans 22 does not allow JDK 1.7 or 1.8
I just installed NetBeans 21 running on JDK 17. I have several old projects that build against JDK 8. I've added JDK 8 to my installed Java Platforms, set my Properties->Build->Compile to the correct JDK (1.8), and have set source and target in the maven compiler plugin to 1.8. The project loads and builds as expected. If I could get everyone to move to our latest parent pom, I could avoid installing JDK 8, set the Java release version to 8, and have it built. I have tested the latter, and it works as well. It's just a matter of getting everyone to switch. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ On 3/2/2024 12:12 AM, Noel Abela wrote: You can clearly see from the filename in the screen shot that it is not a jre but a JDK.
