Bug Description
Binary package hint: netbeans
The Netbeans Plugins dialog behaves oddly:
First, it seemed like I can't install any plugins: Even though there is a list of Available Plugins, I can't change the first column (Install) from false to true by either single or double or any other clicking. The Install button is greyed out.
After some clicking I found out that there is a context menu where I can chose Check Category Foo. If I do so, all packages in the category Foo are marked for installation and the Install button isn't greyed out anymore. Installation works fine then. This was ok with the Groovy/Grails plugin I needed. But eg. for PHP this doesn't work for me since it will also install PHP Symphony and whatever else is in that category.
Even better, if I go to the Installed Plugins tab, I can also use the context menu to Deactivate a whole category. That context menu even has an entry to enable or disable single plugins. But these entries are greyed out. So I can't disable eg. the CVS plugin which I don't need without disabling the whole Base IDE category.
I don't know if this is a (K)Ubuntu specific bug; Google didn't help me.

I'm fixing this problem. You must install the package sun-java6-jdk.
Add the Lucid source : archive. canonical. com/ lucid partner"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://
And :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Modify the symbolic link default-java :
cd /usr/lib/jvm
rm default-java
ln -s java-6-sun default-java
After reboot, you must edit the configuration file of Netbeans in /etc/netbeans.conf jdkhome= "/usr/lib/ jvm/default- java"
Add :
netbeans_
I hope, I can resolve your problem ;)
