<!--<a name="req_os"></a>--> | |
<h5 style="border-bottom:0">Supported Operating Systems</h5> | |
<p>The NetBeans Mobility Pack for CDC 5.5.1 runs on the Java SE JDK versions 5.0 | |
and 6.0, which consists of the Java Runtime Environment plus developer tools | |
for compiling, debugging, and running applications written in the Java language. | |
<p>The NetBeans Mobility pack for CDC runs on Microsoft Windows systems that | |
support the Java VM. Below is a list of platforms that NetBeans IDE has been | |
tested on. | |
<ul> | |
<li>Microsoft Windows Vista</li> | |

<p><b>Installing NetBeans Mobility Pack for CDC 5.5.1 to non-Windows platforms</b></p> | |
<p>Currently the Mobility Pack for CDC is not available for non-Windows platforms | |
due to a lack of 3rd party emulator support for other platforms. However, we | |
do offer an unsupported binary zip of the pack for those who want to install | |
the pack on other operating systems. Please note that there is no documentation | |
or support for the binary zip. For information about downloading and installing | |
the binary zip, please visit the <a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/MobilityFromZipToNB">FAQ | |
page</a> for this topic. The <a href="https://netbeans.org/projects/mobility/lists/users/archive">Mobility | |
Users mailing list</a> is also available for further questions related to this | |
topic.</p> | |
<h5 style="border-bottom:0">Minimum Hardware Configurations</h5> | |
<p style="border-bottom:0">The Mobility Pack for CDC does not require significant | |
resources beyond those required by the NetBeans IDE. </p> | |

<h2><a name="compatibility"></a>Compatibility</h2> | |
<p>When you first run the IDE with NetBeans Mobility Pack, you can import a subset | |
of the settings you used in NetBeans Mobility Pack for CDC 5.5. If you choose | |
not to import settings from that 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 the | |
installer.</i></p> | |
</blockquote> | |
<p>Though it is possible to import settings from the NetBeans Mobility Pack | |
for CDC 5.0 into the NetBeans 5.5.1, it is not possible to import settings from | |
NetBeans Mobility Pack for CDC 5.5.1 into the earlier IDE release. </p> | |
