<p class="notes"><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>
<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 14 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>

<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 previous versions of NetBeans IDE. If you choose not to import settings from a previous
release, the IDE opens using the default settings.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="notes"><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 class="notes"><b>Note:</b> If you edit the Project Properties in NetBeans IDE 6.5.1
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>

<a name="uml-plugin"></a>
<h2>UML Module Availability</h2>
<p>The UML diagram editors are completely rewritten for this release. The complexity of the new features caused development delays that resulted in the following changes: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>UML is not in the NetBeans 6.5.1
installer</strong>. UML was moved from the full installer to the Update Center and
can be installed via the Tools > Plugins menu in the IDE. The UML module is also available in zip file format. </li>
<li><b>UML Support in 6.5.1
</b>. Five diagram types are supported: activity, class, sequence, state and use
case diagrams. These diagrams are automatically upgraded from your pre-6.5.1
UML projects when saved in the new version of the UML module. <!--The collaboration, component, and deployment diagrams will be completed after the 6.5.1
.1
release.-->

<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>Due to a change in Woodstock components, resize handles have been removed from the following Woodstock components: TextField, Text Area,Password Field, Drop Down and List Box. This issue impacts especially projects imported from Java Studio Creator and NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5/5.5.1. Resized components may look different from how they looked in previous releases.</p>
<p><b>Workaround: </b>For TextField and Text Area components, use the columns and rows attributes, respectively. Drop Down and List Box have been enhanced to include a new width property. </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 6.5.1
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;
&lt;/webuijsf:panelGroup&gt;</pre>

<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> faces-config.xml used to have the commented section listing how to indicate other locales, with some lines for certain locales as an example. Users must now add these line manually, making sure the name of the locales of interest are in the supported locales
section. </p>
<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;

<h2>Known Issues: C/C++</h2>
<br>
<p>NetBeans 6.5.1
C/C++ support C and C++ applications on
Microsoft Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and the
Solaris<small><sup>TM</sup></small> Operating System. C/C++ developers can
bring existing applications into the NetBeans project system, or develop new
applications and libraries. NetBeans C/C++ support covers the end-to-end
development cycle: projects and templates, an advanced language-aware editor,
makefile-based builds, and debugging.</p>
<p>For information on installing and configuring the compilers and tools for
NetBeans C/C++ support, see <a href="../cpp-setup-instructions.html">Installing and
Configuring C/C++ Support</a>.
</p>
<p>The unresolved C/C++ issues for this release are as follows:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149153">Issue
# 149053</a>: On Windows platforms, the path to make tools cannot
contain spaces
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>On Windows platforms, if the path to make
tools contains embedded spaces, the path is truncated and the
tools are not found.
</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=148204">Issue
# 148204</a>: On Windows platforms, user input does not work in Output
window when debugging
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>On Windows platforms, when you are debugging
an application and the console type for the project is set to Output Window, you cannot
type input in the Output window. This issue does not affect
development using a remote host.
</p>
<p>
<b>Workaround: </b>Set the console type to External Terminal by
right-clicking the project node in the Projects window, selecting
the Run node in the Project Properties dialog box, selecting
External Terminal from the Console Type drop-down list, and
clicking OK.
</p>

<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121776">Issue #
121776</a>: Sun Studio compiled code sometimes has problems being debugged with gdb
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description: </b>On the Solaris and Linux operating systems, code
compiled with the Sun Studio compilers cannot always be correctly debugged
with the gdb debugger. Most known problems are fixed in the Sun Studio 12 software but
several more exist. If you run into problems
debugging programs compiled with Sun Studio 12 compilers, the first thing you
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.
