From: giddy on 20 Jul 2008 02:37 hi, I'm a really good C# programmer and I've been programming for quite sometime with MS stuff. I've decided I need to know a little JAVA, i think i've already put a post in this forum for books but now i need help with NetBeans Firstly, I had quite some trouble installing it and now If i open desktop application projects I get reference problems, Also, New Project-->Java Desktop Application _does_not_exist on my netbeans, its not there! I have NetBeans 6.1 Also, there are some other reference problems again from time to time, what exactly is wrong? I can see that NetBeans itself has packages starting with the word org and some more packages under \platform8\modules\ext i've installed the latest JDK so how do i end up having reference problems? Is there something wrong with netbeans or JDK? Thanks so much Gideon

You want the regular old Java Application. What sorts of missing references do you get? Most times you can solve them by adding a .jar file as a library to the project. If you are using build scripts, NetBeans may not pick up the location of the .jar or the need for it. > > Also, New Project-->Java Desktop Application _does_not_exist on my > netbeans, its not there! I have NetBeans 6.1 It's there on mine, but I never use it. Use Java Application. However, there could be other issue because of the problems you had during installation. > > Also, there are some other reference problems again from time to time, > what exactly is wrong? I can see that NetBeans itself has packages We'll need to see what the actual error message is to diagnose this further.

Hmm, a simple, straightforward activation procedure in the IDE. I can see how that disgusted you. Given that the rest of us didn't have to do that step, though, I wonder if there might have been some procedural error in the installation of NetBeans at the start.

If the IDEs are too much trouble, and they won't be later, I promise, then just work with the command line. That's a good way to learn Java anyway. One should make it a rule when first learning any new discipline, such as Java programming, not to judge the subject emotionally until one has actually learned it. Most of the time the problem will turn out to have been unfamiliarity with the tools, not a flaw in the tools themselves. Blaming the tools for what's really due to one's own lack of knowledge will impede the acquisition of that knowledge. -- Lew |
