Hi,
NetBeans and Java all should have their own forums. This here is about JDeveloper and ADF. However, here's an overviw of Java 6 certified environments
+"Oracle has tested and certified the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK™) and the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 (JRE™) on the platforms listed on the table below."+
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/system-configurations-135212.html
For XP it says: Windows XP (SP1, SP2, SP3)
Make sure you read the release notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/install-windows-152927.html
For NetBean, install the version of NetBeans that works with the Java 6 release you choose for your XP
