Description shameem 2007-08-13 13:08:57 UTC
Hi, I'm part of IBM java development team, I have problem installing NetBeans5.5 on IBM java6 version. It says 'No 
Java Development Kit(JDK) was found on this system, whereas I could able to install on IBM java5 version. I would like 
to know, what would be the reason for Installation failure. Kindly reply me.
Comment 1 dlipin 2007-08-13 13:21:18 UTC
shameem,

AFAIK IBM java6 is not officialy jvm for NetBeans 5.5 and that is why it is not found automatically.
Lowering priority to P2. 

Marek, any comments welcome..

Thanks,
Dmitry
Comment 2 shameem 2007-08-13 13:50:40 UTC
How can I successfully install NetBeans5.5 on IBM java6, kindly provide me the solution or any guidlines for the same.
Comment 3 shameem 2007-08-14 07:36:55 UTC
Hi dlipin,
Please provide me the information needed for the installation of NetBeans5.5 on IBM java6 ASAP. 
Kindly reply soon as it is very urgent.

Thanks,
Shameem
Comment 4 dlipin 2007-08-14 10:13:29 UTC
reassigning to Marek Slama who own installers for NetBeans 5.5.

shameem,
as far as I know, there is some kind of workaround : you can extract all data using the following command:
./netbeans-5_5-linux.bin -is:extract
You`ll see the message : "7 files extracted in the directory <somedir>"
Go to that directory and then run 
<ibm-jvm>/bin/java -jar setup.jar

No garantee that it works but you can try.
Please note that there are several issues in IBM`s Java (either 5 or 6) that doesn`t allow NetBeans to work correctly.

Another solution is to install Sun`s JDK. It is available at 
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

One more solution is to use zip distribution of NetBeans :
http://dlc.sun.com/netbeans/download/5_5/mlfcs/200612070100/netbeans-5_5.zip
Comment 5 mslama 2007-08-15 07:28:55 UTC
Use zip distribution. But be aware NB will not work with IBM JDK 5 or 6 due to buggy XML parser bundled with JDK.
Installer launcher JDK search only recognized IBM JDK 5 not 6. But as IDE does not work even IBM JDK 5 should not be
recognized as valid JDK.
Comment 6 shameem 2007-08-17 07:51:31 UTC
Hi Marek/Dlipin,

The third solution you have provided could not be tested.Because when I extract the zip distribution file,it throws the 
following message,

Archive:  netbeans-5_5.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a 
multi-part archive.  In thelatter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of 
this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of netbeans-5_5.zip or netbeans-5_5.zip.zip, and cannot find netbeans-
5_5.zip.ZIP, period.

Can you suggest something else?

I have other queries like, 
-As you mentioned, there are some bugs in IBM XML parser, would like to know  whether NB could automatically  detect 
IBM JVM when a fix has been made in IBM XMLparser.  
-Do  you have any information where and why  the XML parser is failing.
-Is there something else needed at NB side to allow IBM java to work even after XML parser fix has been made .
I would be very  thankful to you if you could reply my queries. 

Comment 7 mslama 2007-08-21 13:29:17 UTC
We will test current NB 6.0 dev build with latest EA IBM JDK available which is ibm-java-sdk-60-linux-i386-20070629.tgz.
It is for Linux. I do not know about any IBM JDK 6 build for Windows. So far I did not find any problem. If NB 6.0 will
work we can add support for IBM JDK 6 to NB 6.0 installer (installer will search and offer IBM JDK 6 to user).
Comment 8 dlipin 2007-08-21 13:52:38 UTC
shameem,

I`ve updated 6.0 installers to be able to run on IBM`s java6.
Please note, that java5 is not supported for the installer due to the ibm`s java5 issues.
Please check any build after 200708220000 when it is available (in a day or so).
http://bits.nbextras.org/download/6.0/nightly/

Please note that Linux on PPC is not supported in the installers and there is no plan to add this support for 6.0 
release. 
Please also note that IBM`s java is not supported by GlassFish - so you would not be able to install GlassFish and 
dependent runtimes.

Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any problems

Marek, yes, you are right, there is no IBM JDK6 for windows for now.

Thanks,
Dmitry
Comment 9 shameem 2007-08-27 09:39:22 UTC
Marek/Dmitry/Jan,

I have downloaded the NetBeans installer6.0 on Linux IA-32 machine from
http://bits.nbextras.org/download/6.0/nightly/200708261200/bundles/netbeans-6.0-nightly-200708261200-full-linux.sh
I run with the following options,
1)chmod +x netbeans-6.0-nightly-200708261200-full-linux.sh
2)./netbeans-6.0-nightly-200708261200-full-linux.sh
During installation, it asks to choose destination folder and JDK for running NetBeans IDE, when I gave IBm JDK path,
the following message will be shown 
'The installer could not find a compatible JDK installation. The minimum required version is 1.5.0_06.

As you have mentioned that IBM JDK support would be added in  Installer6.0 after 20070822 builds, Could you provide more
information about this failure and fix required.

Thanks,
Shameem
Comment 10 dlipin 2007-08-27 09:43:34 UTC
shameem,

have you selected IBM Java5 or Java6?
Java5 is not supported (due to its issues) but Java6 should work fine.

Please attach installation log file from ~/.nbi/log.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Dmitry,

I tested with IBM Java6 only. If you want more specific details about IBM JDK build used, let me know.

Please find the attached log file in the attachment column.
I have also pasted below the same, the output from the file ~/nbi/log/20070708062158.log

Comment 13 dlipin 2007-08-27 11:39:53 UTC
shameem,

could you please make a listing of the /home/shnazeer/jdk directory?
ls -laR /home/shnazeer/jdk > lsoutput.txt

and attach file lsoutput.txt.

I have an assumption that there is no full JDK there but only the JRE. The listing file (lsoutput.txt) should 
demonstrate that or the opposite.

BTW, what is the zip file name, size and URL with the JDK that you have downloaded and installed?

Thanks in advance,
Dmitry
Comment 14 dlipin 2007-08-27 11:44:50 UTC

could you please make a screenshot of the NetBeans Panel (where you select installation folder and JDK) with the path "/
home/shnazeer/jdk" as the JDK folder.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Please find the attachments. 
I have downloaded IBM JDK zip file named pxi3260-20070815_01-sdk.zip

Also result of 'java -version' is given below

java version "1.6.0-internal"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxi3260-20070815_01)
IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux x86-32 jvmxi3260-20070810_13456 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20070810_013456_lHdSMR
JIT  - dev_20070810_1830
GC   - 20070810_AA)

Hope, this gives you clear information about IBM java6.
Please provide me the update ASAP.

Comment 18 dlipin 2007-08-27 15:05:39 UTC
Shameem,

I can`t find this file (pxi3260-20070815_01-sdk.zip) at IBM`s site. 
Possibly it is one of the internal IBM`s releases (according to your e-mail it can be not so far from the truth;)

I see at least one issue that prevent from normal work. 
To fix it make a symlink from private JRE`s java to the JDK :
ln -s /home/shnazeer/jdk/jre/bin/java /home/shnazeer/jdk/bin/java

Please let me know whether it helps you to proceed with the installation or not.

Thanks for your incredible help,
Dmitry

Dmitry/Marek,

Thank you very much for your support and concerns.
I have tested with the latest IBM java6 build. NB installation and IDE running successfully as per the suggested steps. 
Will revert back to you, if testing team reports any failure.
Thanks again.

Hi Marwk/Dlipin

I still see the same problem with netbeans-6.0m10-basic-linux.sh installation. During the installation when I give IBM 
jdk in JDK for Running NetBeans IDE text box. It throws the following error "The installer could not find any 
compatible JDK installations. The minimum required version is 1.5.0_06". I have tested with netbeans-6.0-nightly-
200708261200-full-linux.sh download on the same IBM Java, it works fine. Can you please provide information why this 
NetBeans IDE 6.0 Milestone10 is not working with IBM java. Kindly reply me ASAP.
Thanks in advance 

Thanks,
Shameem
Comment 22 dlipin 2007-09-11 14:19:58 UTC
shameem,

NetBeans IDE 6.0 Milestone10 is not working because the IBM JDK6 support has been added after is was shipped.
Upcoming NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 1 will work with IBM JDK6 as well as the nightly builds.
Beta 1 would be available in a week or so at the following location:
http://bits.nbextras.org/download/6.0/beta1/

Hi DMitry/Marek

As per your last comment on this issue, it had been told that NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta1 will work with IBM JDK6. But still
Installation is failing with the error message "The installer could not find any 
compatible JDK installations". This happens when I select IBM JDK6.0 in the 'Running NetBeans IDE' text box, during
installation. Can you kindly provide more information about this failure and also whether it has fixed or not. If not,
could you please provide support for IBM JDK as early as possible. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shameem

The link to download IBM java6 build is,

you need to register here in the forum for downloading the builds.

Kindly let us know about the fix at the earliest.
Thanks,

Comment 30 dlipin 2007-10-18 08:32:15 UTC
shameem,

it seems that ~/sdk doesn`t contain the full JDK due to the lack of some critical (from installer POV) files.

could you please list (ls -laR /home/shnazeer/sdk > sdk.log) this directory and attach the listing to the issue?

BTW, do you have file (symlink)  /home/shnazeer/jdk/bin/java ?
Isn`t it the same issue as discussed some time before?

Thanks,
Dmitry

Comment 32 shameem 2007-10-19 07:34:47 UTC
Hi Dmitry,

As suggested by you, this problem could be solved by creating symbolic link from JDK/jre/bin/java to JDK/bin/java.
This is a fix at our end. 
 
Thanks a lot for your co-operation and help.

Regards,
shameem
Comment 33 dlipin 2007-10-19 09:52:52 UTC
shameem,

I would very appreciate you if you file an issue against IBM JDK6 (or just take it into account if you are working in 
this JDK team:) because this problems seems to move from one build to another. 
If it will be present in the final build - it will be very bad both for the IBM JDK6 users and for NetBeans users.
If you do that then, please, make an appropriate note at this issue.

Thanks for you help,
Dmitry
Comment 34 shameem 2007-10-23 11:57:00 UTC
Hi Dmitry,

The symbolic link from JDK/jre/bin/java to JDK/bin/java already exist in IBM java6. The symbolic link issue came into
picture again mainly because I had downloaded IBM Java6 in jar format, where the jar version does not create symbolic
link to bin/java. 
In all other packaging formats(like tgz, zip etc), symbolic link will be created when we download IBM java6.  
The other problem I noticed is that, JAVA_HOME must be set(or --javahome installer option must be specified with IBM
JDK) before we start NB installation. 
Two things must be ensured before installing NetBeans on IBM JAVA.
1)Ensure that java executable(or symbolin link to it) exist in JDK/bin path.
2)JAVA_HOME must be set to valid IBM JDK Path(or --javahome installer option could be specified with valid IBM JDK)

With the above said changes, one could successfully install NetBeans IDE with IBM JAVA on linux platofrms.

Thanks,
Shameem
