<p>NetBeans IDE is also known to run on the following platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li>OpenSolaris 2008.11</li>
<li>Java Desktop System 2</li>
<li>Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4 </li>
<li>Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel/Power PC</li>
<li>Various other Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu 8.x, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and many others.</li>
</ul>
<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.</p>
<a name="req_sw"></a>
<h2>Required Software</h2>
<p>NetBeans IDE runs on the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) which consists of the Java Runtime Environment plus
developer tools for compiling, debugging, and running applications written in the Java language. </p>
<p>The tested JDKs for this release are:</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 6 Update 14</li>
<li>JDK 5 Update 19</li>
</ul>
<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://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html</a></li>

for Mac OS X 10.5.4 and higher (includes Java SE 6, version 1.6.0_07 for 64-bit Intel-based Macs (Core2Duo processors))
<p>For users running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and higher, a Java update (J2SE 5, version 1.5.0_16) is available at
<a href="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaformacosx104release7.html">http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/javaformacosx104release7.html</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Note.</strong> Java upgrades for Mac OS X are also available via Apple's Software Update mechanism. </p></li>

</ul>
<p class="notes"><b>Note</b>: You can download archived versions of the JDK at
<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p>
<a name="compatibility"></a>
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
<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>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.</p>
<p class="notes"><b>Note:</b> If you edit the Project Properties in NetBeans IDE 6.7.1
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>

<h2>JavaFX 1.2.1 SDK Availability</h2>
<p>The JavaFX 1.2.1 SDK is bundled with the NetBeans 6.7.1 release. </p>
<blockquote>
<p class="notes"><b>Note:</b> The minimum supported JDK version for JavaFX 1.2.1 is JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows and JDK 5 Update 16 for Mac OS. <!--Please see the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javafx/1/reference/system-requirements-1-2.html">JavaFX SDK System Requirements</a> page for more information.</p>

<p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p>
<a name="uml-plugin"></a>
<h2>UML, SOA and Visual Web Module Availability</h2>
<p>In order to focus our efforts on the latest and most popular developer technologies, the UML, SOA and Visual Web modules in NetBeans have been removed from the installer. The modules can be installed by via the Tools &gt; Plugins menu in the IDE by searching for the plugin names UML, SOA or Visual Web. The modules are also available on the Beta Update Center.</p>
<p><strong>Enabling SOA Functionality in the IDE</strong></p>
<p>In order to use the SOA module with NetBeans IDE 6.7.1, take the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the <a href="https://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html"> &quot;All&quot; download</a> of NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 with the bundled Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 rather than Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude which does not work with the SOA module.</li>
<li>From the OpenESB project download page, install the GlassFish ESB v2.1.1 for NetBeans 6.7 download bundle. Select your NetBeans 6.7 installation directory as the directory for the GlassFish ESB installation. </li>
</ol>

<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 6.7
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; &lt;webuijsf:button binding="#{Page1.button1}" id="button1" text="Button"/&gt;
&lt;/webuijsf:panelGroup&gt;</pre>

<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; &lt;locale-config&gt; &lt;default-locale&gt;en&lt;/default-locale&gt; &lt;supported-locale&gt;<b>desired locale</b>&lt;/supported-locale&gt; &lt;/locale-config&gt; &lt;/application&gt;

and gdb are:
