<h1>NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 Release Notes </h1> | |
<blockquote> | |
<p>Welcome to NetBeans IDE 5.5.1. NetBeans | |
IDE is a modular, standards-based integrated development environment (IDE), | |
written in the Java programming language. | |
The NetBeans project consists of: </p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>An <a href="../../../../features/ide/index.html">open source | |
IDE</a> written in the Java programming language.</li> | |
<li>An <a href="../../../../features/platform/index.html">application | |
platform</a>, which can be used as a generic framework to build any kind | |
of application.</li> | |
<li>Add-on packs, such as <a href="../../../../features/javame/index.html">Mobility</a> | |
and <a href="../../../../features/java/profiler.html">Profiler</a> | |
that enable you to extend NetBeans IDE's functionality. | |
</ul> | |
<br> | |
<div class="greybox"> | |
<p>For release information about NetBeans Add-on packs, see: </p> | |

please use NetBeans IDE 5.5 with NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5. We do | |
not expect to publish any further updates to NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.x. | |
All our development efforts are now focused on NetBeans 6.0 with SOA. </p> | |

<p>NetBeans IDE runs on the J2SE JDK 5.0 (Java SE Development Kit), | |
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/j2se/1.5.0/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/</a></li> | |

or http://www.innotek.de/products/javaos2/javaos2general_e.html | |
<br> | |
If you get a NullPointerException when starting the IDE on OS/2, try changing | |
the name of your <code>JAVA_HOME/jre</code> directory to all capital letters. | |
</li> | |
<p><b>Note</b>: You can download archived versions of the IDE at | |
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html">http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html</a>.</p> | |

<!--<a name="req_appserver"></a> | |
<h5 style="border-bottom:0">Sun Java System Application Server Requirements</h5> | |
<p>In order to use the J2EE development features of NetBeans IDE 5.5 , you must | |
have the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8 installed | |
on your computer. You can download it<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html#sdk"> here</a>.</p> | |
<p><b>Note</b>: Because you also need the Sun Java System Application Server 9.0 | |
to work with the J2EE features of NetBeans IDE 5.5 , your computer | |
must also meet the <a href="http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4707/">application | |
server's minimum requirements</a>.</p> | |
<h5 style="border-bottom:0">Other Application Server Requirements</h5> | |
<p>If you are working with other servers, confirm that your system | |
meets their minimum requirements as listed below: | |
<ul> | |
<li><b>JBoss 4.0.x</b> CPU 400MHz, RAM 512MB , JDK 1.4 (recommended 1.4.2). | |
<li><b>WebLogic 9.0</b> See <a href="http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs90/90_over/overview.html">WebLogic Server 9.0 Supported Configurations.</a></li> | |

<a name="compatibility"></a> | |
<h2>Compatibility</h2> | |
<blockquote> | |
<p>When you first run the IDE, you can import a subset of the settings | |
you used in NetBeans IDE 5.0. If you choose not to import settings from a previous | |
release, the IDE opens using the default settings. </p> | |
<blockquote><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></blockquote> | |
<p>Though it is possible to import settings from a previous IDE installation | |
into NetBeans IDE 5.5.1, it is not possible to import settings | |
from NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 into an earlier IDE release. </p> | |
<p><b>Note:</b>If you edit the Project Properties for a project that was created | |
in NetBeans IDE 4.1 or earlier in NetBeans IDE 5.5.1, the project will no longer | |
work in the earlier NetBeans IDE versions. </p> | |

<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 6.x 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>Because there is no known workaround for this issue, it is recommended to use | |
an alternative Linux distribution if you must use a locale subject to this behavior. Note that this problem | |
does not occur on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. </p> | |

<p><b>Description:</b> When running the IDE on Red Hat | |
Fedora Core 3 in the zh_CN locale and possibly other | |
Asian locales, the IDE's screen text may become unreadable.</p> | |
<p><b>Workaround: </b>There is no workaround for this issue | |
on Red Hat Fedora Core 3, so it is best to use a different Linux | |
distribution or another operating system if you need to use these locales. Note that this problem | |
does not occur on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. </p> | |
