Please, do yourself a huge favor and download a proper Java IDE:
This will make your experience much smoother.
The error message tells you that you don't have a JDK (Java Development Kit) reachable from Atom.
If you haven't yet, you will need to download a JDK - see the sidebar -> Where should I download Java?
Once you install it, you need to tell Atom where to find the Java Compiler (javac) as well as where to find the Java Runtime (java). Alternatively, you can add the path to the folder where you installed the JDK to the system path.
In my own experience intellij IDEA is a great IDE but i think that it might be a little bit too heavy, if you're on a lower end machine i would suggest Apache NetBeans or the solution i am using right now is, Visual Studio Code with the Java extension with OpenJDK for smaller projects (For learning it should do)
They did better than that: you can now show your solidarity with the Black community by switching to one of the new dark themes. https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb120/index.html#_appearance

time to be pedantic!
> you need an IDE - an integrated development environment.
False, ESPECIALLY when learning C. All you need is a compiler - gccif on Linux, or mingw on windows are good starting points. You can edit files by hand through VSCode(or Notepad! or Vim!) and execute the compiler through the command line, and IMO it's a far better learning experience than using a full integrated IDE at first. For the record, Microsoft provides a nice C/C++ extension for vscode as well.
> Since you are using c, you should use codeblocks
False. Code::Blocks might be a nice IDE for C/C++, but it is unmaintained and outdated. as I said, IMO using an IDE when first learning is a mistake; but if you must use one, use either VSCode with the above extension or NetBeans which is up-to-date.
> Since you are learning c, you will not be able to write object oriented code.
That's factually false. While it is hard, C has enough tools for you to emulate OO-code and apply OO concepts. Even so, that's not a requirement; OOP is something you'll eventually learn but you shouldn't try too hard to think about it when you are barely learning how to write "hello world".
I googled what the dist folder is, maven puts everything in target so I never used one. You shouldn't have images in there.
Ideally you want all your resources to be places in a resource folder in your project root. So you should have a dist folder, a lib folder and an assets folder where you keep your images and other resources.
This tutorial should help you out.
Also, I think you wrote the file path wrong. You wrote "\\img\\abc.png", try this "/img/abc.png"
That's the "old" plugin site that was managed by Oracle.
The plugins for Apache NetBeans are stored in https://netbeans.apache.org but it's not a browseable site. It should be used automatically in your NetBeans version.
To use Gradle you don't need to download a plugin. Support for it is available out of the box (i.e. the plugin is bundled with the Apache NetBeans distribution). If it's not you can check the installed/available plugins under "Tools -> Plugins"
I would recommend to use the current version (12.5) if you use Gradle, as there were substantial improvements between 12.0 and 12.5
That sounds very strange. Especially the point about autocompletion.
You could try asking for help on the Mailing list. Quite a bunch of the main developers are active there.
Or you could just try out version 12.0 first to see whether you still have that problems there.
NetBeans has a good Quickstart Tutorial. To learn more you can click on "Get Help" on the website. The most used shortcuts would probably be Alt + Shift + F to format your code automatically, Ctrl + Shift + I to fix imports, Ctrl + Space for code completion and Alt + Enter to apply NetBeans recommendations.
Netbeans 10 doesn't come with a native package installer. It's just binary.. Netbeans 8.2 is what I have installed and it was supplied with a package installer.
Apache NetBeans doesn't even come with an installer as far as I know. You can just download the IDE, extract it wherever you want and you should be good: https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb100/nb100.html
Same thing with the JDK, just select the ZIP download option: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk11-downloads-5066655.html
It doesn't appear all that abandoned.
Other than that, NetBeans being moved to Apache brings me nothing but joy, because I was sick of seeing the fucking Oracle logo every time I boot it.
Java is in a really bad place now, with Oracle's licensing changes and all... Yesterday I found Zulu's OpenJDK builds for Windows, that should allow people to sidestep Oracle's bullshit, because OpenJDK is GPL.
If anyone knows of better OpenJDK builds for Windows, please do tell...
I like NetBeans for "simple" Java programming like it's 2003 and prefer it vastly over Eclipse. Especially when quickly whipping up a Swing UI with the UI editor for some simplistic internal tool so other people can smash buttons and stuff... https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart-gui.html
There are dozens of us!
me too ...
we have version 12, of course:
https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=netbeans
i think netbeans sucks no matter what version you are using... i use intelilij IDEA Ultimate (Student License) for Java. I just don't get it... Access for SQL database...
The older available version of netbeans is 9, the link for version 8 (pre-apache) is broken:
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/archive/index.html
If you go with the route of VM i suggest using KVM instead of VirtualBox. It's initially harder but it's faster.
Most of the time this is solved by deleting the content of the userdir.

Not sure where it is on MacOS (if you could display the "About" dialog, it is shown there). Try $HOME/NetBeans or something similar.
Dear Peter, you can try to implement a MIMEResolver to assign a suitable MIME type to Makefile files (by file name), then register a DataLoader agains that MIME type. Please see https://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/DevFaqFileRecognition.asciidoc for an overview of the whole file recognition process, and https://github.com/junichi11/netbeans-noext-mime-resolver/blob/master/src/com/junichi11/netbeans/modules/noextresolver/NoExtMIMEResolver.java for an example of a custom MIME resolver.
have you performed both of these steps, or their equivalents?
You have to have java8 of course (just added link for completeness but I assume you have it). But also netbeans has to be told to use it. You can have many different versions of java on a machine at the same time. the editor has to be configured to use a specific version afaik. (though by default I think it will use the version you used to start it with, but i'm not sure of that)
I thought this was as easy as editing the respective file template, but apparently the ${cursor} macro doesn't work in file templates (only in "code templates"):
https://netbeans.apache.org/tutorials/nbm-filetemplates.html
You can use Netbeans on Mac.
You could upload the files every time you are done with them (to Google Drive or something) and download them when you are starting work again on either computer but I would highly recommend you learn to use Git and Github for that
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb120/nb120.html > You will find the macOs installer here.
Netbeans didn't support the latest version of Java, so you have to download an older one. Someone else commented the link to the java versions.
Good luck.

Apache NetBeans 12.0 (released earlier this month) actually has much improved JavaFX support. I personally couldn't even get JavaFX to work in NetBeans 11, but in 12 it's easy.
No one has actually mentioned a direct competitor here.
It's not quite like for like comparison to PHPStorm but has around 99% of the features you would use in your day-to-day job as a PHP developer and it's free.
There are rumors Netbeans and PHPStorm (A.K.A IntelliJ IDEA) share the same origins, although I can't confirm this. They certainly feel very similar, same layout, similar feature set, same look etc.
Is there a reason you need NetBeans 8.2? I'll outline the installation for NetBeans 11 below (installers are not yet ready):
- Go to the official website ->
Download-> Binaries - Download JDK 12 for your system
- Unzip both
- Go into the
netbeansfolder, and open etc/netbeans.conf - Find the line starting with
#netbeans_jdkhome=, remove the leading#and point it to the JDK 12 folder, e.g.netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Users\gekosaurus\Desktop\jdk-12.0.1" - Doubleclick bin/netbeans.exe, or make a shortcut if you'd like
Pro Tip: If you don't need Java for anything else, you can uninstall all of them.
Thanks Dude! i got lot a their site by just clicking every "Download" button i found and ended up at https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb100/nb100.html
I feel like you're overcomplicating it. What IDE are you trying to install? Here is the link for Apache NetBeans 10.0
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb100/nb100.html
Install the latest JDK (11.0.2), and the IDE should detect it automatically.
I think you're trying to build from source rather than downloading the binaries.
Yeah, then Apache would probably be your best bet. It should have directions for downloading on the website.
Hey! I'm having difficulties installing netbeans. I used to have an older version like 8 but I have a new laptop and I'm trying to download netbeans 10 but having difficulties. I'm really confused with there being no installer. Do I download the bin file or source file from Apache Netbeans? Will Apache Ant replace the regular CMD/Command Prompt on my Windows 10 laptop?
I use Netbeans (I do 80% php, 15% bash, 5% dos) on Windows 10 and my dev servers are running localy in VM Virtualbox.
With the correct plugins, I can do everything I need for free. Netbeans (Oracle) has been frozen for almost 2 years. But they have now donated all the code (for php also) to the Apache foundation.
Netbeans 9 just got released. https://netbeans.apache.org/download/
For me, the most important thing is how HiDpi is handled by the tool. Netbeans 8 is 90% ok (some menus do not follow my custom config).
Eclipse definitely has more features than the community edition of IntelliJ but it is a harder call when comparing the commercial version. It is much better at reducing the amount of boiler plate code that you need to write and, if such things are important to you, it's released using a vastly better licence. Eclipse is a significantly more complicated IDE to use than IntelliJ, often because it tries not to be and I'm going to single out perspectives among the many other examples!
IntelliJ has the better refactoring tools and it's auto-complete is almost psychic, sometimes it's scary. It also uses fewer resources and responds faster in day to day use, certainly on Linux anyway. Most of the missing features from the community edition are aimed at professional or even enterprise users so by the time they are seriously needed, the licence should be affordable. If looks count then IntelliJ appears to be much more modern, although the devstyle plug-in narrows that gap.
If you are working with multiple languages such as Java, C, C++, PHP etc. then Eclipse wins as with a download for each language, it can handle them all. IntelliJ provide IDEs for many languages, some of which have community editions and some don't. They all look similar and work in the same way but it would be nice if they were more integrated.
Netbeans is probably the simplest IDE to use and despite the latest release being somewhat out of date (for Java) is still a nice IDE that handles many different languages. It was moved to be an Apache project and since then the new version 9 has been worked on. It's just had a release candidate released and adds support for newer JDKs among other work.
