Are you trying to tell me that running Netbeans on a system called
Solaris is not a good idea since it is obsolete? Because that's what I
run Netbeans on (and on XP and Linux). Are you suggesting I should get
that Solaris thing upgraded to XP?
It seems I touched a nerve. Because of my E-mail address
and the unwarranted significance people might attach to it, it
may have been unwise of me to post in the first place -- and
it certainly wouldn't be wise for me to continue in a debate
that veers in the direction this one threatens to. I certainly
had no intent of offending you or belittling you, and I am sorry
if my post seemed to do so.
"NetBeans IDE 5.0 requires a J2SE JDK, version 1.4.2 or higher."
There is a suitable JDK for 98 - from Sun. So what happened to
write-once-run-anywhere? If Sun doesn't even get this right for their
own product (actually one of Sun's flagship products in the area of
Java) how can we mere mortals have any hope?
Elsethread, Alrik Fassbauer reports that he got it to
work on Win98, albeit on a possibly atypical configuration.
