[hardy]Netbeans 6.1 cannot been installed under openjdk-6 package

[Gustavo Veloso]

With openjdk-6 package installed (jdk and jre) I didn't able to install Netbeans 6.1 IDE from original .sh installation file available in Netbeans website.
To install IDE I need to get sun java jdk.

If openjdk-6 fail in more programs maybe it must be removed from famous ubuntu-restricted-extras package.

Ubuntu team is not responsible for installer provided by Netbeans website. Please file bug in netbeans bugzilla.
Netbeans 6 is packaged in Ubuntu and available in universe repository. If you have problem with that package, then lease update this bug accordingly.

- please recheck with openjdk-6 6b11-2ubuntu2, as found in hardy-proposed
- is this a netbeans issue?

I just tried and it passed. I need more details to investigate. I tried with latest openjdk build as Matthias suggested and tested netbeans-6.1-ml-javase-linux.sh. There is more installers (with different content) so I need to know exactly which you used. You can also run installer with --verbose to get installer log to console. You need openjdk-6-jdk to run installer. (I renamed /usr/java where I have JDKs and removed any sun-java* packages. As I used --verbose I am sure installer used openjdk-6 from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java.

I am pretty much sure that issue is caused by the bug in OpenJDK that prevents GlassFish from working on OpenJDK.
GlassFish V2 (both ur2 and ur1) is included in this NetBeans installer and it does not work in that distribution as well.

See also:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/224455

I can confirm that GlassFish V2 UR2 does not work with OpenJDK 1.6.0-b09 but it works fine with 1.6.0_0-b11 (6b11-2ubuntu2).
The same for NetBeans Installer.

Thanks,
