NetBeans Modules

NetBeans Startup Settings

Currently to add or change any NetBeans parameter (font size, jvm argument, look and feel), a etc/netbeans.conf file needs to be edited.

So this module, can make it easy to change those parameters, see below screenshot and feature list:

Feature list

• Backup and restore original settings (etc/netbeans.conf)
• Able to configure and store different JDK and NetBeans user directory
• Store settings (jdk and userdir) under JDK Preference API
• Support to on-line updates through update center
• LGPL license
• If specified userdir doesn't exist, a new one will be created
• Remember netbeans user and JDK directories, across different NetBeans installations.

Requirements

• JDK 5 or higher
• NetBeans 6.x
• A writable $HOME/.java/.userPrefs directory

Recommendations

• JDK 6 to run NetBeans
• check the option "Force install into shared directories" at Tools --> Plugins --> Settings (tab)

Limitations

• If the option to install plugins into a shared directory is NOT checked, this plugin will be installed at the user directory. If the user changes the netbeans user directory, this plugin will not be loaded.
