This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Currently the netbeans package has dependency on the icedtea JDK. As a result, NB uses icedtea by default when installed on a fresh system. This makes IDE unusable because of icedtea related P1 bugs (user can't create a project, user can't add a file)
Waiting for openjdk6 status for Ubuntu.
This is progress. openjdk-6 is already in Ubuntu. I filed 2 issues for updates of netbeans and libnb-platform7-java packages. Waiting for response from Ubuntu admins.
All packages we created now depends on openjdk-6.
verified on Ubuntu 8.04 beta NetBeans package version 6.0.1-0ubuntu2
