Update NetBeans to 6.5

[Joel Parker]

Binary package hint: netbeans-ide

NetBeans has been updated to version 6.5. This should be included in Intrepid.
[Was 6.1]

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek (mgol)]

Netbeans 6.1 has some issues, like reporting JavaNullPointerException in strange places. Upgrading to 6.5 would be a good idea.

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

NetBeans will be updated in Jaunty. Nevertheless could you give more info about JavaNullPointerException you've got?

[psychok7 (nunok7)]

i also get a bug when creating new classes on existing projects..(some error message).. why cant u guys still upgrade it to 6.5 in intrepid? 6.1 is full of bugs

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

As far as i know Intrepid is frozen for new functionality. So Jaunty seems to be the best candidate for NetBeans 6.5.
Anyway I'm now working on NetBeans 6.5 packaging and I'm interested in being informed about any problems with the product.
So I would appreciate if you send me more info about errors/exceptions you get. ( just explain what you've done and attach a log file which is located here: ~/.netbeans/6.1/var/log/)
 It will help to improve the quality of NetBeans in Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

hi.. when i try to create a new class on a project i click on the finish button (the class actually gets created ) and then this error occurs :

sorry this is a netbeans 6.1 error... i havent used 6.5 so i dont know if it also has that problem

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

2 psychok7: Please file separate issue for your problem. It might be dependency problem. But first I need to investigate why freemarker is trying to load org.apache.log4j.Logger. Do you have liblog4j-1.2-java package installed? libfreemarker-java does not depend on liblog4j-1.2-java so there might be another mechanism how concrete logger class is selected. Also exact description what project you use and what class you tried to create, JDK, if you installed any additionla plugin from Netbeans UC would help. I need to reproduce this to be able to investigate why it happens.

[psychok7 (nunok7)]

hi there.. i have liblog4j-1.2-java , i create a normal java project.. and add a class in the normal way(i didnt have this problem in the previous ubuntu) im using ubuntu 8.10 and installed only netbeans and jdk trough synaptic
any more ideias?

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

Do you use openjdk or sun jdk? I will try to reproduce. Problem might be in freemarker as it should load logger from jdk in freemarker.log.Log4JLoggerFactory.getLogger(Log4JLoggerFactory.java:65)
freemarker.log.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:255)
freemarker.template.utility.SecurityUtilities.<clinit>(SecurityUtilities.java:67)
I will look at freemarker sources.

[psychok7 (nunok7)]

i use sun jdk 6.. thanks

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

I can't reproduce the issue even when "org.apache.log4j.Logger" logger class is selected by freemarker. Everything is ok for me.
Actually freemarker uses whatever logging package it can find on the system:
 Log4J, Avalon or JDK1.4 logging (in this order). Looks like in this case Log4J was chosen (in usual configuration it is JDK1.4). But somehow org.apache.log4j.Logger was not found. Strange.

psychok7, could you, please, install the package attached*
> sudo dpkg --install <path_to_package/packagename.deb>
and run NetBeans via:
> /usr/share/netbeans/6.1/bin/netbeans
command.

Then, please, create a new class file on the project and send me netbeans's log.

 * I've added some debugging output into original libfreemarker-java package and rebuilt it.

[LumpyCustard (orangelumpycustard)]

I think we can confirm this

[Chris Benson (chrisbenson)]

I understand that Netbeans 6.5 isn't being distributed with Intrepid, but will a Netbeans 6.5 package be made available in the Intrepid repositories? If so, what repository will it be in and when will it be available?

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

As soon as packages for NetBeans 6.5 are ready I'll publish them on PPA. I'll let you know.
FYI, you also can download NetBeans 6.5 from netbeans.org.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

I'll be waiting for it. I hope it can be backported to Intrepid :-)

[Michele Renda (mic-renda)]

I add my request of Netbean 6.5 too

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

I saw that Jaunty also includes just version 6.1. Could at least Netbeans be upgraded to 6.5 in 9.04?

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

netbeans 6.5~ppa packages for intrepid are available here: https://launchpad.net/~yulia-novozhilova/+archive

to confirm the PPA key's fingerprint
3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo aptitude install netbeans

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

To upgrade NetBeans to 6.5 the following packages have to be upgraded first:
1) libnb-svnclientadapter-java : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316744
2) libnb-javaparser-java : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316784
3) libnb-platform-java : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316793

[Andrey Zaitsev (a-zaitsev)]

Yulia,

So should the ubuntu community hope that NetBeans shall be in the Jaunty release? Or we should break any attempt as we did with Eclipse? What are the plans?

The Q #2: will be the glassfish updated to ur2? Im askin' cos' you're the only person who i've seen who really interracts with the community.

Thx.

[Marcelo Atie (marceloatie)]

Andrey, we already have all the diff files that we need, i really hope that Ubuntu Sponsors will upload it before the Ubuntu 9.04 feature freeze (February 19th)

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

Andrey, I'll do my best to see NetBeans 6.5 in the Jaunty. But as Marcelo said everything depends on sponsors now.

As for GlassFish I don't have any information but I've sent a letter with your question to the last uploader of the package. Hope to get an answer soon.

[Yulia Novozhilova (yulia-novozhilova)]

About GassFish:
There are no plans for updating the GlassFish v2 in Ubuntu to GlassFish v2.1.
But there is an ongoing effort to get GlassFish v3 Prelude into universe or main.

[Michele Renda (mic-renda)]

Hello,
I am using on production the Netbean package given by Yulia Novozhilova.
It run well. The only problem I have (and I didn't had with NB 6.5 given by Sun) was that when I try to update Netbean Plugins I get that this file can't be downloaded:

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.5/uc/final/ubuntu/catalog.xml.gz?unique=NBUBU014125bf1-7aca-4056-b1a7-0d5232b16e9b_d62ce377-c18e-4fbf-98da-4dd86f6e9886

Thank you

[Michele Renda (mic-renda)]

Hello, I'd like to know a short explanation about the reason why netbeans-ide was refused for Jaunty (no polemics),
and in which version it will be introduced.

Thank you

[Marcelo Atie (marceloatie)]

Michele, netbeans-ide wasn't refused, we are only waiting the fix of
