I was working in win7, and I just got sick of windows. So I installed 14.04 LTS and NetBeans today. Opened it and start new project, several times. Won't create new project, won't do nothing.

At one point, the app had to be killed. So, I'm totally new to Ubuntu and Linux and need help. I couldn't find answer that could save my problem.

  • Try to delete Netbeans and re-install it. – ryekayo Jun 17 '14 at 16:57
  • Tried, now it won't launch it. – Manojlo Jun 17 '14 at 18:27
  • try this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall netbeans – Parto Jun 17 '14 at 18:28
  • Nothing. No response. Just opens the NetBeans and no red loading indicator is filling. After few seconds is closed, and that's it. I hope you understand my English. :) – Manojlo Jun 17 '14 at 18:36

    Well, I solved the problem. I re-installed NetBeans, but I downloaded from their site .sh file, and installed it using the terminal. It works. Thank you for your time. This is what I used: " chmod +x netbeans-8.0-linux.sh", "./netbeans-8.0-linux.sh". – Manojlo Jun 17 '14 at 19:44
  • I have had the same problem, solved it by removing OpenJDK and the installing Java from Oracle then downloaded Netbeans 8 from Oracle and installed that, everything is working fine. –  Aug 17 '14 at 18:19

Looks like you're hitting bug 1274469; the libnb-javaparser-java package is newer than the netbeans installation.

The fix is to manually downgrade your version of libnb-javaparser-java, to match the version of netbeans that's installed. You can do this with:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libn/libnb-javaparser-java/libnb-javaparser-java_7.0.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i libnb-javaparser-java_7.0.1-1_all.deb

then restart netbeans.

I solved the problem. I reinstalled NetBeans, but I downloaded from their site .sh file, and installed it using the terminal. It works. This is what I used:

chmod +x netbeans-8.0-linux.sh

./netbeans-8.0-linux.sh

Install the Latest Package of Java first. Make sure to read the Netbeans installation instructions completely. They will mention what version(s) of Java are supported for the version of Netbeans you are downloading.

Next make sure the netbeans download is extracted (if zipped) and made executable (important). Then open a command line terminal (CTRL - ALT - T). Make sure to execute the sh file as sudo. This will ensure that the Netbeans install will be able to find your version(s) of Java installed.

sudo sh netbeans-8.0.1-php-linux.sh

When starting from shell got the following message:

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=384m; support was removed in 8.0
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32m; support was removed in 8.0

in this case this might be the solution:

netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

or any other jdk7 happens to be installed.

If so then to make it more permanent one can edit following lines in /etc/netbeans.conf:

# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir>:
#netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"

or to do it in user space edit .desktop or menu file and/or add alias to shell's rc file.

Aren't you getting any error messages?

I believe this issue can be related to permissions. Have you tried to run the program as root?

sudo netbeans

or

sudo netbeans-7.0.1

  • Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=384m; support was removed in 8.0 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32m; support was removed in 8.0

    This is what is shown in terminal.
