VB brings back memories since I believe one of the first times I wrote a graphical interface it was in VB.

The community provided installers do in essence the same thing (plus some OS-level registration) but they also bundle a current JDK too in one package - so you wouldn't have to worry about NB finding a JDK at launch. > > Yes, this is on Windows but I will be working from Linux as well and will > face same there eventually I assume. So question applies to both platforms. yep, as long NB finds a JDK which meets the minimal requirements it should start, no matter the OS. You can also specify it via a program flag (check netbeans --help) or the config file if you don't want to change the env. best regards, -mbien > > TIA --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
