Description Christian Lenz 2016-12-27 00:00:03 UTC
Yeah Ubuntu on Windows is, I think still in beta but I use it for my daily work. At home and at work. It is really handy to setup enviroment stuff easily. So for this, NetBeans should be aware of installed stuff inside the ubuntu on windows. The path is "C:\Users\Chrizzly\AppData\Local\lxss (hidden folder)". So if NetBeans are aware of a cygwin installation, it should be treated like that too.

And for everything else like I installed node, c/c++ stuff, php and so on.

Would be great enhancement. I created such ticket for Terminal integration too, because of the Cygwin thing: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267478

I think it should be easy, because the code already looks for bash or bash.exe insight the code of the dlight.terminal module. The bash.exe for ubuntu on windows is located here: C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe so I played a bit around, but no effect atm.

I will close it, because it will handled now at the JIRA board: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-181. Please feel free to change the state of the ticket.
