Inno Setup, which I use to create the installer for my app, generates a GUID.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a method for creating serialVersionUID in NetBeans?

IIRC there were some plugins for this in the past, but I can’t find them now on 
wither the community plugins page or plugin portal page.

Why can't Platform Manager find JDK 1.8.0_301?

[Ed Sowell]

I just followed the Oracle instructions for Windows 10 installation of JDK
1.8.0_301, updating 131. Installation now properly shows the Windows 10
System Java version is jre1.8.0_301. However I can find only the jre. The
jdk isn't anywhere on my machine. Without the jdk, I can't Add it as a
Platform using the NetBeans Platform Manager.

What am I missing?

I use Launch4J, then innoSetup to create an installer. Tricky part is the

Emillian,

 

Thanks for getting back to me.I am not trying to re-invent “write once run 
anywhere”.I accept that everything is going to need an installer now.

The question is, how do I get from “Clean and Build” to  .EXE file that 
includes a JRE?   

 

 

You said "For Windows/macOS you probably can use something cross platform (see

the NetBeans installer), “  

 

Do you mean the installer for Netbeans?  Or do you mean installers for OSX and 
Windows?

 

but you will run into the problem of digitally signing your app

 

That is a good point.  I had not thought of that.

For Windows/macOS you probably can use something cross platform (see

digitally signing your app. For that I don't know of a cross platform
solution.

So, for example, although I build CoolBeans on a Linux build server, I
still have to digitally sign the installer on a Mac and on a Windows
machine.

Okay, that sounds like an improvement from where I am standing, but…  Can

The last time I looked into bundling the JRE with my program, I think it was in 
the early release days of Java9 (Netbeans 8.2 was still the IDE of choice). 
You could specify such a build, but it required linking the IDE to 3rd party 
software.   Also, at the time, it required that you have a development station 
for each OS.   You couldn’t make Windows apps on a Mac and visa versa, to say

There were many competing options for each OS, each with dozens different

RE: Netbeans 8.0 update fails.

[Ed Sowell]

I was having some issues with 8.2 and was advised to switch to 11.0. Yesterday 
I did, and everything works fine with my rather large & complex Java Windows 
app project. Only problem is there’s no installer for 11.0. You have to 
download the binary zip file and unzip it to C:\Program Files. You can manually 
pin netbeans64.exe or netbeans.exe to Start, and rename the folder to NetBeans 
11.0. When you first run 11.0 it will ask you if you want to transfer the 
settings used in your earlier version (which it detects automatically) to 11.0 
Say Yes.

 

And, yes, it can coexist with you present version. I now have 8.1, 8.2, and 
11.0 on my machine.

Hello, 

 

I'm using Netbeans 8.0 for windows 10.

 

I get a message that there are "50 updates found".

 

When I click "click here to make your IDE up to date" another window opens up 
with all the plugins that will be updated.

 

I click "next", but then I get an error. Specifically, the window says:

Error

There were some problems when storing the selected plugins

Netbeans8.0/enterprise/update/download-in-progress-.../org-netbeans-modules-web-core-syntax.nbm

(The system cannot find the file specified)

 

Are there any tips for how I might fix this issue?

 

Is it recommended to just download the newest version of Netbeans (Netbeans 
11.0) and uninstall the old one (Netbeans 8.0)? Is there any way to upgrade to 
Netbeans 11.0 without uninstalling the old one?

 

Thank you.

 

RE: NB 8.2 Freezing

[Ed Sowell]

I installed NB 11.0 and worked on my project for a few hours today. So far, no 
freezing. That was encouraging, since when I last worked on the project with 
8.2 it would freeze every time I opened it.

Lar, I'm working from home connected to Spectrum/TWC. No proxy server as far as 
I know. However, my Windows setting  is the default auto-detection, which I 
assume means it would connect through any proxy server on the Spectrum side. 
Never heard of such a thing though.

Subject: Re: NB 8.2 Freezing

Hi Ed,


In case of a freeze the most revealing information we can obtain is a Thread 
Dump.

How to get a Thread Dump:

(assuming you are on Windows)

- Open a command window (cmd.exe) and start NetBeans IDE from the command 
window. (by executing "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2\bin\netbeans64.exe"  .. or 
as appropriate for your version of NetBeans and your install directory). Now 
work as normal with the IDE, until the freeze happens.
- Press Ctrl-Break in the console window.
- There will now be a thread dump in the console window. Copy all of that text 
into a text file.
- Post here.

Unfortunately, while I know of several methods to obtain a Thread Dump from a 
running Java application this is the only one I know of which will actually 
work when a true freeze occurs. The method requires that you have a command 
window from where you can send the Ctrl-Break instruction. Hence, you need to 
start from a command prompt, not the Start Menu of Desktop shortcut.

/Lars

NB 8.2 Freezing

[Ed Sowell]

I've been using NB for several years, in a Windows (now 10) environment. At
some point, perhaps back at version 8.0, it started exhibiting a freezing
problem. In the NB Community I learned that this is an often-reported issue
with many suggested causes, ranging from inability to locate import
libraries to use of dual monitors. None of these resonated with my
experience. Then a few days ago I discovered another possible cause. I
noticed it froze while Debugging at a breakpoint in my Java project. The log
file showed this:

 

INFO [null]: Last record repeated again.

SEVERE [global]

java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: component must be showing on the
screen to determine its location

at
java.awt.Component.getLocationOnScreen_NoTreeLock(Component.java:2062)

at
javax.swing.text.JTextComponent$InputMethodRequestsHandler.getTextLocation(J
TextComponent.java:4643)

at
sun.awt.im.InputMethodContext.getTextLocation(InputMethodContext.java:278)

 

I assume the location it couldn't determine was a breakpoint which had
become an empty line due to edits. As usual, I had to use Windows Task
Manager to End the NB task and then reopen NB. I then removed (or disabled?)
all project breakpoints. For a while, I thought I'd finally resolved the
problem, but alas, it still does it once in a while. The log from the most
recent freeze ended like this:

There were no Exceptions in the log file. I don't know the significance of
these INFO messages, but clearly something's wrong.

 

So, with this background, let me ask a question. Since this freezing issue
seems to have survived several NB version changes, is there any hope it has
been resolved in NB 10 or the newest version, 11?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Emne: UinserverZ for Netbeans for PHP development 

 

Newbie here: this it the first time I've used a mail list in a decade or
more, so hope I'm doing it right.

 

I'm trying to set up Netbeans for online app development using
PHP/JavaScript. Tried using XAMPP for local server but things didn't go
well. Now trying UniserverZ, but no luck so far. Uniserver has a tool called
UniController.exe with which one can choose from 3 different php.ini files,
php_test.ini, php_development.ini, or php_production.ini. The tool also
allows viewing  of settings and stuff, with which I can see that the default
place to look for php.ini is C:\Windows. Therefore I think a copy of the
selected ini is renamed php.ini and put in C:\windows.  HOWEVER, in Netbeans
one must browse to the wanted php.ini, but its' not there.

 

So, my first question is has anyone here ever used UniserverZ with NetBeans?
