<p>NetBeans IDE is also known to run on the various other Linux distributions such as Oracle Linux 5, Ubuntu 8.x, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora 14, and many others.</p>
<p class="notes"><b>Note</b>: NetBeans Web and Java EE support are particularly demanding on system resources - especially when used in combination
with application servers. While the above system requirements apply to most configurations of the IDE, for the best results
make sure that your system meets at least the <i>recommended</i> system requirements when developing Web and Java EE applications.</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 and
developer tools for compiling, debugging, and running applications written in the Java language. </p>
<p>The tested JDK for this release is JDK 8u101 for Windows, Linux, and OS X.
The 8.2 version of the IDE cannot be installed or run on the JDK older than JDK 8.</p>
<p class="notes"><b>Note</b>: </p>
<ul>
<li>The PHP and C/C++ NetBeans bundles only require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 to be installed and run.</li>
<li>Java features in the IDE and JavaFX 8 features require JDK 8.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can download the JDK for your platform from the
<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html" target="_blank">Java SE Downloads</a> page. </p>
<p class="notes"><b>Note</b>: Java SE 8 is required to install and run NetBeans IDE 8.2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p>
<a name="javafx"></a>
<h2>JavaFX Support</h2>
<p>The JavaFX SDK is not bundled with the NetBeans IDE 8.2 release.</p>
<p>The JavaFX 8 SDK is bundled with JDK 8 for Windows, OS X and Linux.
You can install the JavaFX 8 SDK together with
<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html">Java SE Development Kit 8</a>
as a co-bundled product. </p>
<p>Unlike previous versions of NetBeans IDE, NetBeans IDE 8.2 does not require that you
set up an &quot;FX-enabled&quot; Java platform in order to utilize JavaFX support in the IDE.
You can develop JavaFX projects in the IDE
if you install JDK 8.</p>
<p>Please note that the supported JDK version for JavaFX 8 is Java SE 8.</p>
<p>See the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/release-documentation.html" target="_blank">JavaFX Release Documents</a>
page for more information about system requirements, supported platforms and known issues for the current and previous
versions of JavaFX SDK.</p>

<h2>Multilingual Support Information</h2>
<p>NetBeans IDE is translated into the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese (BR), Japanese (JP), Simplified Chinese (ZH), and Russian (RU).</p>
<p>Community translations of the IDE are also available in several <a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/TFL10nCommunityStatus" target="_blank">additional languages</a> and can be <a href="/downloads/" target="_blank">downloaded</a> from the Community Contributed section of the IDE Language drop-down menu.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p>
<a name="compatibility"></a>
<h2>Compatibility with Earlier Releases</h2>
<p>When the IDE is run for the first time after installation you have the option to import some of the settings
used in a previous installation. The IDE opens using the default settings if you choose not to import the settings from the existing installation.
Note the IDE only recognizes previous installations when the user directory resides in the default location.
It does not recognize installations that use the <code>--userdir</code> switch to specify a user directory.
If you would like to import settings from a location that the installer does not recognize do the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Start the IDE go to Tools &gt; Options in the main menu.</li>
<li>Click the Import button at the bottom of the Options dialog.</li>
<li>In the Select Options to Import dialog, click the Browse button and navigate to the user directory that contains
the settings you want to import. For more about the location of the NetBeans IDE <tt>userdir</tt>, see the FAQ
<a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir" target="_blank">What is a <tt>userdir</tt> and where can I find it?</a></li>

<li><b>Characters do not display properly in some Asian locales.</b>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> When running the IDE with some Asian locales on Ubuntu and some other Linux distributions,
the IDE's screen text may become unreadable. On certain Linux distributions multi-byte characters may display as
a rectangle due to JDK font setting issues. </p>
<p><b>Workaround:</b> Please see the FAQ for help with resolving this issue: <a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqI18nLinuxAsianFonts" target="_blank">http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqI18nLinuxAsianFonts</a></p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><b>Profiling application performance can fail when using the Advanced option.</b>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> The IDE displays the message &quot;Redefinition failed with error 62&quot; when attempting to profile application performance (CPU) and the Advanced (instrumented) option is selected.</p>
<p><b>Workaround:</b> Restart the application with the VM argument <code>-Xverify:none</code> to disable classfile verification.
You must restart the application to disable classfile verification. You cannot disable verification if the application is running.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119617" target="_blank">Issue #119617</a>:
Cursor lost in editor and cannot type using keyboard.
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> It can sometimes occur that after using a hint in the editor window
that the insertion point in the editor disappears and you cannot type using the keyboard.
This has mostly been reported on Mac OS X 10.4, but there have been some reports on some versions of Ubuntu.</p>
<p><b>Workaround: </b>Use the mouse to open and then close a dialog window (for example, a properties dialog).
This returns the focus to the editor and the insertion point and keyboard will work as normal.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130357" target="_blank">Issue #130357</a>: I18N - OS X will not generate javadoc if the project name or path has multibyte
characters.
<blockquote>
<p><b> Description: </b>The javadoc task is written in MacRoman, the default OS X encoding, when creating the temporary parameter file.
This may be due to the BSD and Mach parts (system &amp; kernel calls) accepting parameters in UTF-8,
but the OS X and HFS only accepting MacRoman.</p>
<p><b>Workaround: </b>Avoid using multibyte characters in the name of the project or the path to the project.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207060" target="_blank">Issue #207060</a>: On Windows XP, UNC paths cannot be used as URIs.
<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> On Windows XP, the automatic update of any file view (Project, Files, etc.) does not work when UNC style paths are used (for example,
<tt>\\MyServer\myShare\myDirectory</tt>) instead of drive letters (for example, <tt>Y:\myDirectory</tt>). </p>
<p><b>Workaround:</b> Restart the IDE. Alternatively, choose <tt>Tools</tt> &gt; <tt>Options</tt> &gt; <tt>Miscellaneous</tt> &gt; <tt>Files</tt> from the main menu, deselect the <tt>Enable auto-scanning of sources</tt> option, and select <tt>Refresh Folder</tt> in the context menu of a folder.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><b>Description:</b> After dragging and dropping something from Projects or Files Views or Palette
in GUI designers, when you scroll the View or Palette up or down it will
scroll back to the drag position, requiring you to scroll to select some nodes and components.</p>
