Description johnsenf 2008-11-20 21:04:51 UTC 
All the editors i've checked (xml, java, css) has too much empty space wasted between lines. Changing the font from
default ("Monospaced 13") to something else, doesn't change this spacing issue.

A picture is worth a thousand words etc...  so I'll attach a few to demonstrate (if I can find how to do it in this
issue tracking system)

I use Ubuntu 8.10 with OpenJDK 6 provided in Ubuntu.

My Ubuntu is as good as out of the box, freshly installed when 8.10 came out less than a month ago. But I forgot to
mention, I'm using 64 bit.

~$ uname -a
Linux MYHOSTNAME 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please let me know if there is any more information I should provide.

Someone please delete attachment id=73975, I specified incorrect mime.
Comment 7 Petr Dvorak 2008-11-20 22:37:33 UTC 
As I wrote in the mailing list [1], the workaround is simple on Ubuntu - install Sun's official JDK by typing (in console):

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

It is free, it has no special disadvantages, you don't need to register, nothing...

Then you can either edit path to jdk in "<nb_install_dir>/etc/netbeans.conf" or you can launch IDE specifying JDK path
explicitly:

$ ./netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-jdk

I believe we cannot do much on our side, as the problem is in OpenJDK. I am sorry, closing as WONTFIX, not a NetBeans issue.

Comment 8 johnsenf 2008-11-20 23:19:21 UTC 
Thanks a bunch!

btw, this is the correct path to use as jdkhome after installing the sun jdk:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
Comment 9 Petr Dvorak 2008-11-20 23:26:11 UTC 
Oh, you are right - I made lame mistake (...funny I wrote it correctly few lines above...).
