Revision as of 10:53, 25 November 2013

Installation

Download NetBeans from the official website: https://netbeans.org/

Take the NetBeans Java EE version.

Linux

  • Download the NetBeans script
  • Make the script executable and run it
chmod 755 netbeans-7.4-javaee-linux.sh
./netbeans-7.4-javaee-linux.sh


Installation process

On installation start you can choose to install or not some servers:

  • Glassfish 4 = full JEE server. It provides EJB, JSF and all the JEE stack. Your application can rely on it.
  • Tomcat 7 = servlet container. It can only display JSP. You have to provide the other library into your application.

[ I like to install them separately ]

Accept all license terms for both Java & jUnit.
