NetBeans 6 Milestone 10 released
Posted by alexismp in NetBeans

NetBeans 6 now has its last Milestone (M10) available. If you haven't already tried NetBeans 6, you'll find a new editor (for Java, XML, JSP, etc...) and a new modularized installer among many other improvements. The archive varies from 23MB to 172MB depending on the features you request. GlassFish version 2 build 53 is integrated in the install process.

GlassFish-related new features in M10 are described in this earlier post. Java EE improvements include:
• Integrated Visual Web designer for HTML, JSP, etc...
• Much improved Visual Web performance
• Enhanced JavaScript and CSS support
• Greater web services support
• Support Project Woodstock component library

Other new features are listed in the New and Noteworthy document. Overall stability and performance are also improved as with every Milestone. This is the last Milestone with a beta set for August and final bits in November.

There was a problem with the startup script on my system- do you know who to pass this on to? This fix was to some 'tr' syntax.
[large:~]uname -a SunOS large 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

SunOS*)
#mem=`/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory | /usr/xpg4/bin/tr -dc '[:digit:]'`
mem=`/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory | /usr/xpg4/bin/tr -d '[:alpha:][:punct:][:space:]'`

I'm not sure how that could happen (I've installed it fine on my Nevada x86 box). I'd suggest taking this to the nbusers mailing list of filing a bug. thanks.

Hello again .. i was trying this last version of netbeans re making a little software that i made some time before and i have one problem: If i run netbeans as root (in Linux) no problem, but if i run netbeans as another user i can't create JFrame Form's neither JPanel Form's, netbeans says that cannot load the form, i don't know why this happens (as root everything works fine to me). When i start netbeans as user (not root) it appear one Exception: java.io.IOException: could not run [/bin/chmod, u+rx, gem, jirb, rake, rdoc, spec, jruby.bat, jirb_swing.bat, generate_yaml_index.rb, gemri, jruby, rails, gem_mirror, jruby.rb, jrubycli, jrubysrv, spec_translator, gem_server, gemwhich.bat, gemwhich, gem.bat, gemlock, update_rubygems, jirb_swing, jrubyc, _jrubycleanup.bat, testrb, gem_server.bat, _jrubysetcp.bat, _jrubyvars.bat, jirb.bat, jrubyd.bat, jrubyw.bat, index_gem_repository.rb, _jrubyvmopts.bat, gem_mirror.bat] : Exit value=1 at org.netbeans.api.ruby.platform.RubyInstallation.ensureExecutable(RubyInstallation.java:887) at org.netbeans.modules.ruby.rubyproject.RubyProjectModuleInstaller.restored(RubyProjectModuleInstaller.java:40) at org.netbeans.core.startup.NbInstaller.loadCode(NbInstaller.java:354) at org.netbeans.core.startup.NbInstaller.load(NbInstaller.java:273) at org.netbeans.ModuleManager.enable(ModuleManager.java:903) at org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList.installNew(ModuleList.java:380) at org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList.trigger(ModuleList.java:316) at org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleSystem.restore(ModuleSystem.java:260) at org.netbeans.core.startup.Main.getModuleSystem(Main.java:149) at org.netbeans.core.startup.Main.start(Main.java:300) at org.netbeans.core.startup.TopThreadGroup.run(TopThreadGroup.java:88) [catch] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Does anybody knows why this happens ?

Hi Daniel, this is a known problem and fixed (but after the M10 freeze). I'm pushing to get a chance to push this fix out on auto update. For now, you can safely ignore this exception. (The gory detail is that when the Ruby distribution was installed via Auto Update, the Auto Update client would lose the execute permissions on these files, so the Ruby support would work around this by forcing a chmod+x on these files during startup. It turns out that workaround does not work well when the IDE doesn't have write permissions on these files! That's not the case during Auto Update :) The current fix just silently ignores any problems applying chmod, but the proper fix being worked on for 6.0 is for the Auto Update mechanism to properly record execution metadata and apply them on install, such that client code doesn't have to use troublesome workarounds like this.
