Why does Sun Studio need NetBeans?

Hi!
Why does Sun Studio need a NetBeans installation for running successfully? If I am not too wrong, I believe Sun Studio has the same relation to the NetBeans project as Star Office has to OpenOffice.org?
Now, coming to the solution. I am using Sun Studio 12 on Solaris:
amit@opensolaris:~$ sunstudio --netbeanshome /export/home/amit/netbeans-6.5beta/bin/
Validating NetBeans IDE at: "/export/home/amit/netbeans-6.5beta/bin/"
Sun Studio is unable to find a supported version of the NetBeans IDE at the specified location.
Sun Studio requires a NetBeans IDE version 5.5.1 with NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack version 5.5.1
installed. Sun Studio looks for a valid NetBeans IDE installation in the following order:
1) Location specified with --netbeanshome command line option
2) At /opt/netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists
3) At /opt/SUNWspro/../netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists
4) At /opt/SUNWspro/../../netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists
Please run the System Preparation Tool (prepare_system), if available, to set up your environment.
As is apparent, I have a NetBeans 6.5 Beta build.
What is the solution?
Thanks,
Amit

The realtionship from SunStudio to NetBEans is more than a line from A to B.
Ideally SunStudio releases would track NetBeans releases.
However, NetBeans evolves at a rather fast pace. At the same time SunStudio
also contains compilers which have their own products to coordinate with ...
OS releases, new SPARC chips and Sun system releases.
These releases never coincide so SunStudio tends to lag in it's dependencies
on NetBeans and as a result ships with it's own copy.
We used to actually build our own, sometimes tweaked, NetBeans for SunStudio.
Weve made some progress in that we just pick released NetBeans bits and re-ship them.
We're working on the ability for SunStudio to use NetBeanses which are already
installed.
To make older SunStudios use newer NetBeans is a tougher proposition but
we're dedicating grey cells to that matter as well.
If you really want a NB 6.5 based SunStudio wait a bit. We'll be releasing
SunStudio SX based on NB 6.5 shortly.

  • Why does my iphone need wifi to update

    Why does my iphone need wifi to download and install new software update!?
    While other iphones can do that with their cellular internet

    This is your phone's operating temp range:
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    You exceed that range & you'll get that warning...you do nothing, & your phone will shut down to prevent damage. Easy to exceed that range while your phone is navigating & exposed to sun or another heat source.
    It is what it is.

  • Help !!! why does the client need to specify codebase

    Anyone,
    I'm trying out a dynamic class loading tutorial.
    my question is why does the client need to define
    java.rmi.server.codebase.
    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes
    it does not have information about. But why does the client need to specify the codebase

    Lets say you have a Remote interface with a method:
    void compute(Task task);
    Now, the clients of this remote interface want supply
    a zillion of custom tasks to be executed on the
    server, but how the hell the server knows where to get
    the actual classes for those tasks?You fool. its for the server to hand the client the reference to a stub, or to specify FOR the client where the stubs are, so that the CLIENT can get a reference to them, to make the call.
    This is where the
    client codebase comes to the scene. Client codebase......you mean codebase info that is sent TO the client, so it can find the classes.
    A client annotates
    it and it gets written to the manifest part of any
    serializable object (Task implentation) being passed
    over then net so the server could find and download
    the actual class of the object.
    Rubbish.
    I hope I made myself clear. as mud.
    You might want to check
    out this link also:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/cod
    base.htmlI read this and i still dont see anything about CLIENT codebase. I see stuff about codebase, and the server trying to make the client aware of where it can get the relevant classes.
    What a fool you are. Dont bother replying. I have had enough of your autocratic rubbish.

    The client has to annotate the codebase property if it is calling remote methods with parameters, whose subtypes are not defined in the server. This way server has a change to dynamically locate and load those classes from specified codebase.

    If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
    The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.

  • Why does Visual STudio 2012 References keep showing Exclamation mark (which means assembly is missing) even after I specify the exact path?

     Our web application at work requires Visual Studio 2012
    For one of the projects within the Visual Studio 2012 Web Application Solution, we need the System.Web.Mvc in the References.
    I already have the following in the packages folder:
    {blah...blah..Visual Studio Solution path..blah}\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.5.1.1\lib\net45\System.Web.Mvc.dll
    I keep adding it, but the References still shows the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) next to the System.Web.Mvc
    Why does it keep showing the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) , even after I specify the exact path to the System.Web.Mvc.dll ?

    Hi cslewis33,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, if you want to add the System.Web.Mvc reference for a web application in VS2012. As far as l know that the System.Web.Mvc dll is default be located like this path:" C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll.
    So if you create the web app using c# language, I suggest you can right-click your Reference under the we application -> Add Reference->select the System.Web.Mvc in the Assemblies tab.
    If the above suggestion still could not help you, I suggest you can consult this issue directly to the ASP.NET forum:http://forums.asp.net/ , maybe you will get better support.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Why does some video need to be rendered in FCE 4 before I can work on it?

    I've been trying to get a handle on FCE 4 because it's very different than iMovie '08. I have a bunch of content in iMovie that I'd like to mess with in FCE 4, so I exported from iMovie as FCE XML and imported in FCE. There is some video that I re-encoded to Quicktime from ASF and it seems to need to be rendered before it will show up in the Canvas in FCE 4. FCE shows this content as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC under "Compressor" in the browser. Other stuff that was taken off my Sony HDR-SR7 is available in FCE 4 without any problems. This shows up as Apple Intermediate Coded in the browser.
    What's the deal with rendering anyway? Why does FCE need to "render" video to add things like effects when iMovie can add effects, etc at will with no "rendering" required?

    FCE can do certain effects on the fly without rendering. Some more elaborate transitions, like 3D wipes, require too much processor time to do them in real time. My understanding is that Macs with greater on-board processing power do more of these effects in real time, while slower machines must render.
    iMovie can do these effects on the fly because it's working with far less information. Think of iMovie works in the DV format while FCE works in the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format. It's too subtle a name difference but the reality is quite different. It's like editing still pictures in compressed, lossy JPEG format vs. uncompressed TIFF format. Think about how long it takes your computer to open a photo of say, 8x10" 300 dpi in TIFF vs. that same file in JPEG. Well, that's what FCE has to do. It's working in the video equivalent of TIFF -- 30 frames per second. So there's a greater demand on your processor by a factor of 10. You can see this in action in Quicktime. Save a raw video import 720x480 in .dv and then in DV/DVCPRO-NTSC format and then play it back. The .dv will probably play smoothly while the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (.mov) will hang up on play-back. It's just too much for your process to display all of those full resolution images so rapidly. And if you look at the two images side-by-side (particularly titles) you'll see how sharp and clear the .mov file is compared to the compressed .dv file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does Livecycle Designer need to lock scripting on objects with children that are fragments??

    Can someone tell me why Livecycle need to lock scripting on objects with children that are fragments??
    I mean, just because I have a fragment (which you can't edit the script for), why does Livecycle need me to NOT edit say the initialise event on the Main form.
    Yes, I can remove my fragments, edit and reinsert.  Also if the event already has a script, I can edit the xml.  But neither of these are terribly convenient.
    Couldn't there be a better way?

    The purpose of the fragment is to create re-usable or standard components. In most cases the fragment is not created by the same person designing the form and they do not want the from designer to modify any part of the fragment (it is a separate XDP file). There may be code in that fragment that relies on the structure that exists. If you have the rights you can always edit the fragment and when your PDF is created the changes will be picked up.
    If you want to be able to modify the fragment while it is in Design mode sounds to me like you want to add a component to the object library. This will allow you to have a reusable piece of a form that you can modify on a form by form basis. To do this simply build the piece that you want. Lasso the entire form and drag it onto the Custom library. When you release it a dialog will pop up allowing you to name your component. Now on any form design you can drag your new component onto the canvas and all methods/properties and code will come with that component (allowing you to modify it for that form as you see fit).
    Note that you can create your own libraries to hold your components if you see fit. Also if you put your libraries on a shared drive, you can share components between Designers.

    Why does my iPod say needs to cool down?

    Unless you are in a very hot place it usually means a hardware problem
    Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hello,
    I can suggest you a workaround that will help you keep only the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
    Visit "Uninstall a Program" in Windows 7 Control Panel and uninstall Photoshop completely.
    Visit this page and download trial version of Photoshop.
    Run the installer manually and choose the 64-bit version only (uncheck 32-bit version).
    Launch the product and specify your Adobe ID credentials.
    The product will switch to non-trial (i.e. full) mode when it recognizes your Adobe ID.

    im trying to install logic studio and it keeps failing

    The reason I asked is because I don't understand how you managed to install 9.1.1 on your iMac... 
    So... out of curiosity, as you didn't actually answer the question... how did you install 9.1.1 on your Mac given the DVD version is 9.0.0?
    As to your questions...
    You may install Logic Pro 9 from the Logic Studio package legally on one desktop and one laptop you own... as per the Logic Studio license terms and conditions..
    However, had you purchased Logic Pro 9 via the App store, rather than via the boxed edition of Logic Studio 2.0..   that licence, is different and allows you to install LP9 on any number of computers you own for your own private use.. using your Apple ID and the purchased tab of the Mac App Store application.
    If you feel Apple should have done a better job in notifying you about the requirements of Logic Pro 9  in reference to the 9.1.6 update being needed under Mountain Lion, why don't you contact them and tell them... via the feedback form, 
    https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
    because Apple isn't here in any real sense..... and therefore won't read your comments or respond
    This is a User supported community... and we are all users here, trying to assist other users as and when needed... which I guess you were not aware of?

  • Why does the smc need resetting?

    Does anyone know why the SMC on my Intel_Mac needs to be reset every couple of days?
    It's on a UPS so one would assume that fluctuations in the power supply could be ruled out.
    Is there a firmware up grade for this problem?

    OK, two questions:
    1. What year and size iMac do you have?
    2. What version of OS X is installed?
    Frequent causes of this problem are traced to peripherals (printers, external hard drives, USB Hubs etc..) that are connected. I would trouble shoot by disconnecting all of your devices and then plugging each one in one by one and test until you either eliminate all of the peripherals as the problem or find the culprit.
