Netbeans for Java

[metalhead]

Hi,
I am in the process of installing Netbeans to use with my Java 1.6.0_03 environment on Linux. Netbeans was unable to locate my Java environment so I had to locate it manually. As far as I can see, it is located in /usr/java/1.6.0_03. This is certainly the directory that the firefox Java plugin is linked too. Netbeans is asking for the Home directory, but when I add the location above I am given an error message and asked to specify the java home directory. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here. Should I be locating a subfolder (I don't see a home subfolder) of some sort within 1.6.0_03, or am I trying to link Netbeans to the wrong folder entirely?

Thanks,

Tim

What Linux distro are you using? You could try doing

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/bin

after that run the netbeans installer from the same terminal or terminal emulator.
