First thank you to everyone for the help....
Following up on the previous email suggestions
regarding configuration of netBeans 4.1 to use JDK1.5
I have run into these problems....
When I build my code in the output screen it does say
"Build Successful" But I do not see my program
running? Am I missing another config? I have the
default config set right now with a a fresh
installation.
Now I did notice that in my runtime path says
'unknown'. Is it jut me or setting the runtime path on
mac the most confusing configuration issue ever? ( I
am not going to vent here ).
Anyhow.. How would I expect to run my program in
netbeans with out the runtime classpath set? Why would
it not default to somewhere like '/runtime/path/'
instead of "unknown" really odd.
How do I set it? And what path do I set it to? I am
using 1.5 as my default JDK which I had to edit in
netbeans.conf ( very confusing as well )
I also check the "help" tool but that is telling me to
"right click" scary, I am on a mac with a single
button mouse... "control-clickl" may work accept I
cant find where the help system is refering me to.....
To set the runtime classpath:
Right-click the project node in the Projects
window and choose Project Properties.
I have to laugh at myself (due to frustration)...but,
what is the "project node" and how do I right click
it? I am assuming it is the "projects button" ....
someone please ... I am surely getting frustrated
here... thanks again.
