Switch compiler in NetBeans

Hi.
Does anyone know how to get install the lateest build of JavaFx compiler (Marina) into NetBeans.
I've tried to add "new platform", but NetBeans doesn't recognize downloaded build as JavaFX platfrom (because it's compiler).
I've tried to append downloaded files to existing with overwriting, but it didn't help.
Is there any "HowTo" use latest complier version with NB?
Thank you.

If you have installed netbeans 6.5 without javafx sdk include it before, you can update your IDE with install javafx1.1 Plugin for NeatBeans IDE 6.5. I copied it from article on java.sun.com/javafx. In the netbeans main menu :
1. You choose Tools --> Plugins.
In the Plugins window, click the Settings tab and check the Active checkboxes for NetBeans Update
Center and all the update centers listed. The other update centers are checked for any updated plugins
on which the JavaFX 1.1 Plugin might depend.
2. Select the Available Plugins tab and click Reload Catalog to obtain the latest list of available plugins.
3. In the list of available plugins, locate all the plugins in the JavaFX category.
You can type javafx in the Search text field to help locate these plugins.
4. Check the Install checkboxes for the JavaFX plugins found, if not yet checked, and click Install.
5. In the NetBeans IDE Installer dialog, click Next to continue with the installation.
6. Read and accept the terms in all of the license agreements displayed and click Install.
7. After the installation has been completed successfully, click Finish to restart the IDE.
hope it can help you,
regards,
endang

Problem in compiling in Netbeans IDE

Hi all,
I am using Netbean 3.6. I am getting an error in compling
Class.forName("ClassName");
Cannot resolve symbol. What should I do About it.
However I am able compile the same program in command line. Only I am unable compile in netbean 3.6. Do I need to change any settings. Please let me know.
My mail Id is

Regards,
Saravanakumar

Is there any reason that you are using 3.6? I am using 5.5.
anyway the forName method returns the Class object associated with the class or interface with the given string name.
so for the given:
Class.forName("ClassName");
The Class.forName method must be used with care in JRE code. A call
of the type Class.forName(classname) can only be assumes to find classes on the bootclasspath, since it does a look up on the callers classloader

Missing ant package while compiling in NetBeans IDE

hi all,
I am having problem compiling in NetBeans IDE 5.0. The error is package org.apache.tools.ant not found. I have installed apache-ant-1.6.5-bin and jdk1.5.0_07. Are these enough? The library files are in jar format. How can I tell if I having missing package "org.apache.tools.ant "?
I am new to ANT tools and NetBeans. Can someone help?
Thanks.

i have tried with other projects and no problem. Only this project.
What classes do I need to add into the project?

Compiling error (netbeans and javac)

Hi,
I have created a project with netbeans. It has two files Main.java and Methods.java. I can compile and run it using netbeans without any errors. But if I go to the directory where that files are located and try "javac Main.java", I get the error like this:
Main.java:26: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Methods
location : class projectname.Main
Methods met = new Methods();
I get this error 2 times.

cd ..

Compiling in Netbeans

Hi Guys,
I'm using Netbeans 4 and I'm facing a strange problem. I can ask Netbeans to ignore some files/packages and not to show it on the editor (Tools -> Options -> System Settings), right? However, when I compile the whole project it's not ignoring those files. What am I doing wrong?
Best regards

You must be kidding!Sometimes... but not this one. The way I described is the one I've used so far. I'm using 3.6, though.

Hello Lichtens,
I've been able to install the Polish samples installed with J2ME Polish.
The problem is how I can create a new J2ME Polish project or how I can integrate Polish functionalities to an existing project.
Thanks in advance.From the tutorial itself that you pointed:
When you start a new project in NetBeans, just copy one of the sample build.xml scripts to your project's folder. Then adjust the settings according to your needs.

Hi all, I am very new to java programming arena. i am trying to learn the most demanding language for the time being.

Compiling a .dll in netbeans (Almost there)

(I have the GNU g++ cygwin compile installed and selected to be used as C compiler in netbeans)
I have got so far but falling at the last hurdle.
I have modified a java wrapper so that I can put it in a package, I adjusted the code, compiled it, called javah on the source class using:
javah packagename.classname
which worked
I've then re-written the wrapper.c file so that it includes this new header file classname.h
I've re-written the methods so that they start with Java_packagename1_classname1_ (the way they appear in the header)
I've created a new C/C++ project in netbeans (Selected dynamic linked library in options)
I've added the exsisting classname.h files + Cdll.h file to the header files (both included in the wrapper.c)
Now I should be set to compile my wrapper.c into a .dll file
I press the build button and I get this:

Netbeans and Java compilation

Hi all,
I got a number of files done by Netbeans but when I use those file for compilation in normal Java (it means not compiling in netbeans but in Java), i got some problem with the code automatically generated by netbeans.
can anyone help me a solution for the chance of compiling my files (all of them still .java) in normal Java (javac ...) because if not, i will have to do again all the code for UIs :(
thanks all

thanks for reply.
when i try to compile in normal command prompt, the part relating to "position" of each component in the frame generated by Netbeans appear to be errors, e.g. "package org.jdesktop.layout does not exist" which means to me that this would be a only-in-netbeans library.
is there any way for me to link to a specific classpath to get this compilable ?
and, by the way, i have one more question raised from Netbeans.
I try to read a .txt (text ) file in Netbeans by placing that file into the "src" folder but netbeans said "FileNotFoundException" and when i try to read the properties of text file, it states "unrecognized file". any idea how to get Netbeans recognise this file???

I have a problem compiling servlets bymeans of NetBeans IDE 3.6.

If I compile a servlet by means of another IDE, they are oK and work well with NetBeans too.
On the contrary, if I compile it bymeans of Netbeans 3.6, I get a .class which does not work. I
have realized also that for instance if the .class i get with the other IDE is 1,58 KB, if I use
NetBeans I get a .class smaller, that is 1,53 Kb.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Eugenia Mariani

ok
This is the servlet named Contatore.java
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Contatore extends HttpServlet
private int conta;
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
conta = 0;
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest richiesta, HttpServletResponse risposta)
throws IOException, ServletException
conta++;
risposta.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = risposta.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Pagina con contatore</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("Questa pagina e' stata visualizzata");
out.println("<h1>"+conta+ "</h1> volte.");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
Before using the compiler of NetBeans (that is after getting Contatore.class by means of Bluej) when I use Execute I see in Internet Explorer 6.0 with win Xp Pro at the
http://localhost:8084/esempi/Contatore
Questa pagina e' stata visualizzata
1
volte.
and Contatore.class is 1,58 KB
After that I use the compiler of NetBeans when I use Execute here the error from Tomcat 5.0
I see in Internet Explorer 6.0 with win Xp Pro at the
http://localhost:8084/esempi/Contatore
HTTP Status 404 - Servlet Contatore is not available
type Status report
message Servlet Contatore is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet Contatore is not available) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.0.19
and Contatore.class is 1,53 KB
I hope to have said everything
I wait a help, please.
Thanks

Netbeans 6.9.1 and JavaFX formatter

Is there any idea why Netbeans 6.9RC1 has a better javafx formatter than 6.9.1?
I'm always using the formatter with below configuration.
extend tab to space = no
all curly brackets are on new line
Netbeans 6.9 RC1 has deficiency in some points:
-insert a before a.content[i]
-i18n strings : ##""
-in string expressions: "...{some-expression}"
But Netbeans 6.9.1 has also same bugs. Even worse. My 800 lines of code become 1000 lines when I ran the formatter (adding extra spaces after each keyword).
I wonder whether the fx team is using the formatter in netbeans. I really ask this not for criticizing. Before 6.9.1, I guessed the problem of formatter was that only small code segments were tested.
But in 6.9.1, some sample codes in formatter are also wrong formatted.

Netbeans org.openide package problem

Hi,
I wanted to set a menemonic for the menu with an '&Something'
Netbeans asked me to import some package to what I naively agreed,
but as it happens I don't have that package on my computer so the problem
is that the program(s) don't compile because Netbeans adds this non-existing
package to every new project I make !! and I can't run windowed applications anymore,
Please help me, how to tell Netbeans to not include this package ???

It took so long because I had to switch computers with
another Neatbeans instalation but the solution is:
"You can later turn this option on or off. Choose Tools | Options. Expand the
Editing node, and select Form Editor Settings. Then change the Generate

public class MysteryFile {
public enum Elements {
    WIND, EARTH, FIRE, WATER
Elements el;
public MysteryFile(Elements el) {
    this.el = el;
public void whatIsItLike() {
    switch (el) {
      case WIND: System.out.println("A bit chilly sometimes"); break;
      case EARTH: System.out.println("Gets hands dirty."); break;
      case FIRE: System.out.println("Hot! skin melt"); break;
      case WATER: System.out.println("Cool! clean hands"); break;
      default: System.out.println("Don't know"); break;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    MysteryFile anElement = new MysteryFile(Elements.FIRE);
    anElement.whatIsItLike();
}When compiled in Netbeans or in the command line, generates an unexpected MysteryFile$1.class file. If the entire switch block is commented out and recompiled, it does not get generated. Where does this anonymous inner class come from?

The MysteryFile$1 class looks something like this (javac 1.6.0_02):
class MysteryFile$1 {
static final int[] $SwitchMap$MysteryFile$Elements;
static {
      // the line number (debug info) of this static initializer
      // is "switch (el)" line in MysteryFile.java
      $SwitchMap$MysteryFile$Elements =
              new int[MysteryFile$Elements.values().length ];
      try {
          $SwitchMap$MysteryFile$Elements[
                  MysteryFile$Elements.WIND.ordinal() ] = 1;
      } catch (NoSuchFieldError e) {
          // fix stack?
      // repeat with EARTH(2), FIRE(3) and WATER(4)
}... and the actual switch statement in 'MysteryFile' looks like so:
//switch (el) {
switch(MysteryFile$1.$SwitchMap$MysteryFile$Elements[
          this.el.ordinal() ])
case 1: // WIND
      break;
case 2: // EARTH
      break;
case 3: // FIRE
      break;
case 4: // WATER
      break;
default: // ...
}I suppose this is necessary because the compiler can't guarantee that the runtime enum-constant-to-ordinal mapping will be identical to that at compile time (the API docs say it depends on the declaration order in the source code, which I think may change without breaking binary compatibility).
PS MysteryFile$Elements.values() is a synthetic method that returns all enumeration constants in a MysteryFile$Elements array. Found this old related thread: [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=617315]

Change netbean's java version

How can I compile my netbeans project (which uses an ant script) to compile with java 1.4 and not 1.5, because I keep getting this
Unsupported major.minor version 49.0error after I compile in netbeans and then run in the command prompt. However, If I build in the command propmt (ant build.jars) and run it the command prompt it works fine.
I'm pretty sure netbeans is screwing it up...

Well, I have the java platform from the tools menu set to 1.4 but when i go to Help and then about, it says Java 1.5, so I changed that 1.4 by editing "netbeans.conf" in C:\Program Files\netbeans-4.1\etc by adding "# default location of J2SE JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\local_depot\home\rel\Automation\LATEST\Automation\common\3rdParty\java\current", and restarted netbeans, now it says it's running 1.4 in the about menu and 1.4 in the platform manager and it works!!!
