Ask the Experts session on JRuby in NetBeans

Edward Ort — 2008-05-12T21:48:16

One of the significant new features added to NetBeans IDE 6 is support for JRuby. With this support, Ruby developers can take advantage of NetBeans IDE features such as code completion and the debugger to develop and maintain their Ruby code. Got a question about the JRuby support in the NetBeans IDE? Post it during the week of May 19 on the Sun Developer Network: Ask the Experts page (http://java.sun.com/developer/community/askxprt/) and get answers from three experts: Tor Norbye, Charles Oliver Nutter, and Brian Leonard.

Connecting to a database using an embedded driver

ComputechSys — 2008-05-12T21:54:13

I'm trying to create a single user app that connects to a derby database. I have no problem creating connections using the client driver but cannot create a connection using the embedded driver. I get this error Error: Unable to add connection. Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:derby:MaxxTrax using org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver (Database 'MaxxTrax' not found). And I dont know how the database isn't found cause the client driver can find it without a problem. Do i have to physically move the database or something? And if no one can answer that, then using the client driver, how do I connect to the server using java code, and would i have to have the server installed seperatley or will it do it automatically in the clean and build?

bpel samples not working with nb 6.1?

Hint on bean binding a master table to a detail table

Erik Steen Jakobsen — 2008-05-12T21:32:17

It ougth to be * easy to take two JTables , bind them to a database table and discriminate the "detail" table on a key. But it seems nowhere to exist. as a sample : jderby-> sample database -> customer table ( master) -> purchase_orders (detail) -> key : customer_ID. task: let the "purchase order" table show the orders assigned to the selected customer in the customer_table. It should be drag and drop and visually binding two tables to jtables and binding two keys to each other. If bean-binding should have any usage.

List-builder component?

Laird Nelson — 2008-05-12T20:07:57

Somewhere in the source of Netbeans, is there a listbuilder swing component? I mean the usual text-field-atop-scrollable-JList-with-add-remove-up-down-buttons kind of thing. Thanks, Laird

But you can do to http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/ and change the OS selection to "OS independent zip file" and it will let you select what is included in your zip file. Once you have that just unzip the file into a directory and run the exe located in the bin directory.

Re: Large files with nb

I went to http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/zip/ and downloaded a couple of the zips, but nothing seems to be what I need.

font help, netbeans 6.1

Hi list, I'm a relative netbeans newbie, and I'm having trouble with the Proggy programmer's fonts on a new Dell running Windows XP SP2. They look fine in Eclipse on the same machine, but when I set the "default" font in Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors > Syntax to "ProggySquareTT" or "ProggyCleanTT", it appears exactly 3 font sizes too small. Any hints as to why?

Re: PHP Early Access forgets tab settings

Rhett Anderson — 2008-05-12T17:56:14

I'm sure it's just a bug, as this does not happen to me in the Java version of the IDE, only in the PHP Early release. I might have to drop the PHP version until it becomes more stable. With 8 or so files open, you can sit, doing nothing, and watch it eat up memory. Eventually, it pigs out and becomes unusable. Nice to see what's coming for PHP programmers, but it's not quite ready to be used for production. It's close, though. Russell Bateman wrote:

Re: PHP Early Access forgets tab settings

Russell Bateman — 2008-05-12T17:42:30

I thought I couldn't impress my will for tab sizes simple because I'm just a nube. NetBeans appears even more forgetful on this point than Eclipse was where I seemed to have to import my code style including tab settings afresh for every new project. At least Eclipse had that capability. NetBeans, it seems, relies on transporting what's under $HOME/.netbeans (how much of it? Is it all portable between host types Windows, Linux/Unix and Macintosh?). This is one area where some improvement or maybe just explanation would go a long way to making life easier for a simple, but very in-our-face phenomenon. Maybe someone else will see it our way?

Rhett Anderson — 2008-05-12T17:32:21

Every time I start the PHP version of the IDE, my code is displayed with a tab size of 8, even though the options show tabs set for 2. I have to bump up and down the tab size and switch the file I'm viewing to see my tab setting.

Three annoying bugs with NetBeans 6.1

MassimoH — 2008-05-12T17:25:48

1: Breakpoints in startup code don't get triggered in my web application. In other words, I set a breakpoint within a certain method that's called during initialization, and the debugger skips right by it. I know the code is being called because I'm logging to a log file. Later, after startup, the same breakpoint works perfectly. It's only during startup that breakpoints seem to be flaky. This makes debugging certain bugs difficult. 2: Often the project view will show the red error symbol over all my source code. I have to open a file from each "source group", and pause in the editor for six seconds, and the error symbols over all source code in that source group will disappear. The source code had no errors to begin with, so the IDE should have figured this out by itself. 3: Mercurial commit is finnicky. I often have to try over a dozen times before the commit actually takes. This is with a new project, with Mercurial integration configured through the IDE. FYI, I'm using Mercurial 1.0, which triggered

Pale yellow background highlight makes text unreadable when dark background scheme is used in IDE

Rhett Anderson — 2008-05-12T17:21:09

I'm using a light-on-dark color scheme in the IDE. When I click on an identifier, all instances of it are given a pale yellow background. I get white text on pale yellow that I can't read. I've been all through the global and language-specific colors I can change, but I cannot locate this pale yellow one. Can anyone help? This must have been asked before, since it's so incredibly annoying, but I was not able to find a reply. Is there a regular bulletin board or a GoogleGroup where I could ask questions? This mailing list seems a bit awkward. This happens to me in both the Java and PHP versions of the IDE. I'm using the color scheme "Norway Today."

To attach XDebug to the PHP engine, locate the php.ini file and add the following line to it (frequent source of problem): xdebug.remote_enable=1 For more information about setup you can see: http://php.netbeans.org/docs/configure-php-environment-windows.html http://www.xdebug.org/docs/install Hopefully, will help.

NB6.1 editor redraw issues

Sometimes it refreshes when I stop scrolling and sometimes it does not. I have attached a screenshot that shows what it looks like. I have never experienced this before, has anyone else noticed it? -> richard
