Netbeans 6.8 on the EEEPC

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I recently updated Netbeans, installed on the EEEPC 900, to the latest released version. I first downloaded it from Netbeans download page. I usually prefer to download the base version, since I don’t know preventively what I’m going to experiment and which plug-ins I’m going to need.

Installing Netbeans has been so only matter of executing the downloaded file

 

 

chmod +x netbeans-6.8-ml-javase-linux.sh

sudo ./netbeans-6.8-ml-javase-linux.sh

the installation then started and, after agreeing with the usual license, I selected the installation path and the SDK to be used.


 

netbeans-install-3

The installation process completed flawlessly. And the program was so ready for another hello-world

netbeans-hellow

I’m used working with Eclipse at work but, when I’m experimenting on the EEEPC, I definitively prefer using Netbeans because I feel it more responsive and better suited to the EEEPC small screen.

That’s all for now, I’ll start soon installing some plug-in and begin some experimenting.

Massimo, how well it run in a eeepc? I mean, in terms of usability, knowing that the eeepc lacks of a powerfull processor and memory, does it means that it will run like a slug?
I’m asking this just because one of my partners want to buy a eeepc to not travel with his laptop, and it was a question that he was asking me.

Thanks!!!

Hi CoffeMaker thanks for visiting!

Netbeans runs fine on a EEEPC, in my opinion, but keep in mind that I only use it to develop small experimental projects. I never tried a big project on it. Also the small keyboard and screen are not suited for long programming sessions.

A netbook like EEEPC is more suited fro programming experiments, like I do, or on-site testing and debugging.
