<p><b>Note: </b>While the above system requirements apply to most configurations
of the IDE, some areas of NetBeans Web and Java EE support are particularly
demanding on system resources, especially when used in combination with
various application servers. For best results when developing Web and Java EE applications,
make sure that your system meets at least the <i>recommended</i> system requirements.
<!--For details, see the <a href="#known_issues-web-java">Known Issues: Web and Java EE</a> section.--></p>
</div>
<a name="req_sw"></a>
<h2>Required Software</h2>
<br>
<p>NetBeans IDE runs on the J2SE (Java SE Development Kit) JDK 5.0 Update 12 and higher (including JDK 6.0), which consists of the Java Runtime
Environment plus developer tools for compiling, debugging, and running applications written in the Java language. </p>
<p>You can download the JDK for your platform from one of the sites listed
below: </p>
<ul>
<li><b>Solaris</b>: <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html</a></li>
<li><b>Windows</b>: <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html</a></li>
<li><b>Linux</b>: <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html</a></li>
<li><b>Mac OS X</b>: <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaformacosx104release5.html">http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaformacosx104release5.html</a>
(Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later). Java upgrades for Mac OS-X are also available via Apple's Software Update mechanism. </li>
<li><b>Open VMS</b>: <a href="http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/download/index.html">http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/download/index.html</a></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Note</b>: You can download archived versions of the JDK at
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html">http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p><br>
<a name="compatibility"></a>
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
<br>
<p>When you first run the IDE, you can import a subset of the settings
you used in NetBeans IDE 5.5. If you choose not to import settings from a previous
release, the IDE opens using the default settings.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Note:</b><i> The IDE only recognizes previous installations where
the user directory resides in the default location. It does not recognize
installations where you have specified a user directory using the <code>--userdir</code>
switch. If you would like to import settings from an IDE that the installer
does not recognize, download an archive version of the IDE instead of using the
installer.</i>
</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you edit the Project Properties in NetBeans IDE 6.0
for a project that was created
in NetBeans IDE 4.1 or earlier, the project will no longer
work in the earlier NetBeans IDE versions. </p>
</blockquote>

<a name="sql-db"></a>
<h2>SQL Editor and Databases</h2>
<p>There have been changes made to Visual SQL Editor and database functionality in NetBeans 6.0. They are as follows: </p>
<ul>
<li><b>Visual SQL Editor: Quoting</b><br>
NetBeans no longer quotes identifiers when creating database objects. As a result, you no longer need to worry about quoting identifiers when editing and executing SQL statements against objects created in the Database Explorer.
If you do want your identifier to be quoted, you can do so by manually quoting the identifier in the Database Explorer when creating your table, column, index or view.
Also, we no longer automatically quote identifiers when generating SQL, for instance when we create the SQL for the 'View Data' command. Instead, we only quote one or more characters in the identifier is a character that must be quoted (normally anything besides A-Z,a-z,0-9 and _).
</li>
<li><b>Databases: Saving the Connection Password</b><br>
As of NetBeans Release Candidate 1, when opening a database connection, you can opt to save the password.
When a connection password is saved, when you choose Connect for the connection, the connection is automatically established without bringing up the dialog.
If you want to disable saving the password, choose Properties... for the connection and un-check 'Save Password'. Then next time you connect, the connection dialog will come up and you can enter the password.
The connection password is saved in your user directory in the the XML file for the connection. If you are saving passwords, make sure these files are secured by making them readable only for yourself and not for others. These files can be found under your user directory under config/Databases/Connections. </li>

</blockquote>
</li>
<li> NetBeans 6.0.1 offers an optional install of the GlassFish V2 Ur1 installer.
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> 6.0.1 offers an optional install of the GlassFish V2 Ur1 installer.
If you have NetBeans 6.0 installed with the GlassFish V2 installer, this
will install V2 Ur1 in a dedicated directory. The GlassFish V2 Ur1 server does not appear under the Servers node in the Services window because an instance of the server is not registered in the IDE. </p>
<p><b>Workaround:</b> In addition to installing
this server, in order to use it, you must add it to
your Server dialog even though it is still a GlassFish V2 server type. From
the Tools dropdown, select Servers &gt;Add Server &gt; GlassFish V2, click Next, and be sure to update the
Platform Location to include the unique directory &quot;glassfish-v2-ur1&quot;
(e.g. c:\Program Files\glassfish-v2-ur1). If you have both GlassFish V2
as well as GlassFish V2 Ur1 installed, when you create a project
you will see the Server listed as &quot;GlassFish V2(1)&quot; as the second
added GlassFish server. Otherwise it will read GlassFish V2.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can remove the GlassFish V2 server by using the NetBeans 6.0 uninstaller. Likewise, to remove the GlassFish V2 Ur1 server, use the NetBeans 6.0.1 uninstaller.</p>

<p><b>Workaround: </b>For TextField and TextArea components, use the columns and rows attributes, respectively. DropDown and ListBox components are automatically resized to the size of the longest item by the browser.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>When displayed in IE7, all button components may be rendered with an incorrect width.
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>When a button is placed using absolute positioning, its width is incorrect. For example,
when NetBeans IDE 6.0 uses absolute positioning to place components in Grid Layout Mode, this problem may occur.</p>
<p>IE7 expects a value to be specified for the width of buttons. If a width attribute is not specified, the width is set
to <tt>width:auto</tt>, which results in the button's width being set to the entire available width of the button's container element.
For example, if the button style has <tt>left=130px</tt> then the button will start at 130px left and will expand to the width of
the <tt>&lt;body&gt; </tt>element. </p>
<p><b>Workaround: </b> There are several different ways to solve this issue in NetBeans:</p>
<ul>
<li>Specify the width property for the button, or resize the button in the IDE to make the IDE assign a width to the button. </li>
<li> In the IDE, drop the button into a Group Panel component to put the button inside a span tag. In this case there is no need to set the positioning as the
IDE sets the positioning for the Group Panel component. For example, the JSP code of a Button inside a Group Panel component may look like this:
<pre class="examplecode">&lt;webuijsf:panelGroup binding="#{Page1.groupPanel1}" id="groupPanel1" style="position: absolute; left: 240px;
top: 168px"&gt;<br> &lt;webuijsf:button binding="#{Page1.button1}" id="button1" text="Button"/&gt;

<p><b>Workaround: </b>Manually add the desired locale to the locale section of the faces.config.xml file. Here is an example of how the code should appear:</p>
<pre class="examplecode">&lt;application&gt;<br> &lt;locale-config&gt;<br> &lt;default-locale&gt;en&lt;/default-locale&gt;<br> &lt;supported-locale&gt;<b>desired locale</b>&lt;/supported-locale&gt;<br> &lt;/locale-config&gt;<br> &lt;/application&gt;

<p><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123102">Issue #123102</a>: Non ASCII characters might display incorrectly after code generation, in some cases </p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>UML code generation uses default system encoding instead of the encoding of the java project and this can mean non ASCII characters might not be seen and processed correctly if the java project encoding is not the same as the encoding of the locale in which the user is running the NetBeans IDE.<br>
<br>
<b>Workaround:</b> Before adding files or code to the Java project, or generating the code using UML functionality, change the Java project encoding property to that of the default encoding for the locale in which the NetBeans IDE has been started if they are not the same. <br>
<br>
For example, when the NetBeans IDE starts, the default project encoding is utf-8. But if the encoding of the locale the user is in is not utf-8 (as would be the case on the Windows platform ), then you must change the Java project encoding to that of the default encoding of that locale. </p>

should do is apply the latest Sun Studio 12 product patches. If your problem
still exists, please file a defect in Issuezilla and make this task
depend on it.
</p>
<p>
As problems are found, we will open new issues and update this task to
depend on them, giving some idea of the current state of debugging programs
compiled with Sun Studio
12 compilers using NetBeans and the gdb debugger.
</p>
<p>These problems do not affect debugging code compiled with Sun Studio 12
compilers using the Sun Studio 12 IDE and the dbx debugger.

#121775</a>: Need latest Xcode for debugging on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4)
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>When debugging on the Macintosh with Tiger (Mac OS
X 10.4), the
default version of the gcc and g++ compilers generates
code with a bug in the debug output. Apple has released an updated Xcode package
(version 2.5) with a fix for this problem. The correct versions of gcc, g++,
and gdb are:
<br><br>
gcc: 4.0.1 - Apple build 5367<br>
g++: 4.0.1 - Apple build 5367<br>
gdb: 6.3.50 - Apple build 573 (10/20/2006)
<br>
<p>
To download this version of Xcode, see
<a
href="http://developer.apple.com/tools/download">
<tt>http://developer.apple.com/tools/download</tt></a>.
</p>
<p>
This problem is not an issue on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).
</p>
The symptoms of the problem are that executables compiled with the
<tt>-gdwarf</tt> flag (the default for C/C++ application projects) have
incorrect line information and breakpoints may be ignored.
