Installing Netbeans on Solaris 11

[LongShoreman]

I'm trying to install Netbeans 7.2 on Solaris 11. I can initiate the install with no problems, however, when the installation panel in displayed I get the message :No compatible JDK found".

I've installed the JDK1.7.0 and used the "JAVA_HOME" variable to point the the following path; "/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin". I've read the Netbeans documentation and it instructed me to use java7u4 for solaris which I've done.

How do I determine that I'm using the correct release of JDK?

I've set my the JAVA_HOME in my path to the location of where the JDK installed, what should I do next.

Thanks

[Javier Ortiz]

Try java -version on the command prompt.

I'm new to Solaris

I received the following information below:

ava version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

However, my path points to "/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin". Here is my path below

JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin
export JAVA_HOME
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$JAVA_HOME

The env command shows the following:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin

Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks

I've never used Solaris, just answered your question on how to figure out. Need to find out how to make JDK7 the default. Anyway, I think you can configure this in your netbeans.conf file.

Do you have a link file pointing to java 1.6. in either /usr/bin
or /usr/sbin?

I determined why I was running the jdk1.6.0. I changed the order of the search within my path variable.

However, I'm still having the same issue with not being able to locate a compatible JDK when i execute the install of Netbeans IDE.

Can you tell me what is causing the install of Netbeans not to locate the proper JDK. From reading the requirements on the Netbeans website I'm must have JDK 1.7.0 or greater, which I have.

What else should I be looking for?

Thanks

[Javier Ortiz]

You can force this by adding this command to the NetBeans call --jdkhome path/to/jdk

Is the "--/path/to/jdk" just added to the command at the end?

I tried it this way and got the same results.

Thanks

[Javier Ortiz]

Need to add --jdkhome /path/to/jdk.

Where/how are you adding it?
