Install the NetBeans IDE on Your Desktop
Install the Distributed NetBeans Client Plug-In
Install
the IDE Server for OpenVMS
Download the NetBeans Version 3.6 IDE from http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?a=arch&p=1 and install it on your desktop system, if it is not already installed.
The Distributed NetBeans client software is contained in an .nbm file, which contains the following modules. You do not need to install these modules separately.
Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS Client
Distributed C/C++ Support for OpenVMS
Distributed COBOL Support for OpenVMS
Distributed FORTRAN Support for OpenVMS
Distributed PASCAL Support for OpenVMS
Distributed DCL Support for OpenVMS
Distributed CMS Support Module
EDTkeypad Support Module
To
install the Distributed NetBeans client plug-in
1. Fill
out the registration form on the
Distributed NetBeans page at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/netbeans/distnb.html
2. Save the client
module distnbopenvms36_v1_1.nbm to a folder on your
desktop system.
3. Start NetBeans on your desktop system.
4. Open the NetBeans Update Center wizard (choose Update Center from the Tools menu).
- Choose the Install Manually Downloaded Modules option.
- Follow the instructions on the wizard for completing the installation.
- After clicking Finish, if you are prompted to restart NetBeans, you must choose Restart the IDE to complete installation of the module.
Single-user vs. multi-user installation
Standard NetBeans module installation is single-user. If y ou want to do a systemwide installation, select the Global checkbox on the View Certificates and Install Modules page.
Important When choosing a systemwide installation, make sure:
- You have write access to the directories in which NetBeans is installed.
- No other users are running NetBeans while you are doing the update.
You
may also need to change the protection of installed modules so that others
can access the files.
The IDE server software
is contained in a compressed PCSI (PolyCenter Software Installation) file.
To install the
IDE Server
1. Point your browser to the URL that you used to download the client module. (This URL was emailed to you after you filled out the Distributed NetBeans registration form).
2. Save the IDE Server file HP-xxxVMS-IDESERVER-V0101.PCSI_xxxEXE (where xxx is AXP or I64) to any location accessible to the OpenVMS system on which you will install the IDE Server.
3. If applicable, copy or FTP the file(s) to the OpenVMS system.
4. Expand the IDE Server file by entering:
$ RUN HP-AXPVMS-IDESERVER-V0101.PCSI_AXPEXE ! for OpenVMS Alpha
$ RUN HP-I64VMS-IDESERVER-V0101.PCSI_I64EXE ! for OpenVMS I64
The file expands to HP-xxxVMS-IDESERVER-V0101.PCSI$COMPRESSED and HP-xxxVMS-IDESERVER-V0101.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW. (The _ESW manifest file is used by PCSI to validate the IDE Server kit on OpenVMS Version 8.3 and higher. On earlier versions of OpenVMS, the _ESW file is ignored.)
5. Remove the previous version (or previous field test kit) of the IDE Server, if it was installed.
$ PRODUCT REMOVE IDESERVER
6. Wait until all of the IDE$USER processes have stopped (this can take a minute or so). You can see these processes by entering the following command:
$ SHOW SYS/M
7. After the IDE$USER_ processes have stopped, install the kit by entering the following command from the SYSTEM account or another privileged account. (Do not expand the .PCSI$COMPRESSED file before installing it; PCSI installs from the compressed kit directly.)
$ PRODUCT INSTALL IDESERVER
By default, the server
kit is installed into SYS$COMMON.
You can install to destinations other than
SYS$COMMON
by specifying the /DESTINATION
qualifier on the PRODUCT
INSTALL command line, or by setting the PCSI$DESTINATION
logical name.
After you install the server kit, see Configuring the Server.
If, for any reason,
you wish to remove the Distributed NetBeans Client, you can disable one
or more of the client modules using the NetBeans Setup Wizard.
To disable the
Distributed NetBeans module
1. Open the NetBeans Setup Wizard (choose Setup Wizard from the Tools menu).
2. Click Next once to reach the Module Installation Page.
3. From the Modules list, expand the Editing icon and select Remote Development, then Distributed NetBeans Client for OpenVMS.
4. From the Enabled column, click on True and select False from the drop-down.
5. Click Finish and restart NetBeans.
To reenable the module, repeat this procedure, changing False to True.
