Version 8.2 about netbeans-portable

[hupupu]

I managed to make it work:

• Downloaded Portabel Java from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable
• Extracted it in App\JDK\

The problem is with the JDK you included in the release, it is not complete (at least java.dll is missing).

Another issue is that somehow if I try to change now netbeans_jdkhome in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf, it always get written back to ...\App\JDK.
It would be nice, if I could set up NetBeans to use my own Portable Java, not the included one.

I hope this notes help you to fix things.

I'm sure others may have had an easy time getting this working, but this is how I had to do it and just leaving as a reference for myself and others.

Installing NetBeansPortable_8.2_online.paf.exe:

1. Install: jPortable_8_Update_152_online.paf.exe
2. Install: NetBeansPortable_8.2_online.paf.exe	
3. Open file: PortableApps > NetBeansPortable > App > AppInfo > Launcher > NetBeansPortable.ini
4. Set the value of entry "netbeans_jdkhome" to "%JAVA_HOME%"
5. Delete folder: PortableApps > NetBeans Portable > App > AppInfo > JDK (Invalid JRE)
6. Launch NetBeans

Yes - I'll try and get it done soon.

I'm looking forward to it, thanks!

v8.2 now available!

[hupupu]

Wow, that was quick! Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately it is not 100%:

• in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf the paths are absolute (pointing to C:\Users\garethf...). I changed the paths to match my system, but
• launching the NetBeansPortable.exe throws errors:
  • Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
  • Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: could not find java.dll
  • Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

Notes:

• I do not have Java installed on my system (one of the reasons I want PortableNetBeans).
• I made sure in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf that netbeans_jdkhome="[path_to]\App\JDK"

That's the downside of testing on a machine with Java installed :o(

I'll pull the release for now and hopefully fix later.
