Downloading and installing the Linux distribution of the Netbeans-5.5 IDE Beta itself went smoothly (as it usually does with Linux packages on FreeBSD). But the Enterprise Pack preview refuses to accept that the Diablo Java VM available at http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml with a version string output of freebsd$ java -version java version "1.5.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_06-b00, mixed mode) Is a "JDK 1.5.0 Update 1.0 or newer" Java VM. I think the version parsing information in the installer is a bit confused, but I can't seem to find a way to bypass it. The same problem occurs with a locally built 1.5.0 from SCSL source through the FreeeBSD ports mechanism. One of the great virtues of Netbeans is its 100% Java philosophy, meaning that "marginal" hardware/OS platforms can easily come to the table by utilizing its own resources to distribute a certified JDK. The FreeBSD community has gone through considerable exertions to undertake such an effort. Any ideas how to get the Enterprise Pack Preview to install? Should I file a bug with Netbeans? Thanks for any help, Mark Evenson
