Finally back

Semester's almost over - grading almost done. Now for some fun: brand new toys!

• 24 inch monitor
• Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (11.04) under VMWare Player
  
• OpenJDK
• Libre Office
  
• NetBeans 7.0
• GlassFish 3.1
  

Life can be good! Now: setting up NetBeans under Natty. First attempt to run it all under Open JDK - it should work; let's see.

• Install Open JDK: sudo apt-get install open-jdk-6-jkd (check!)
• Run NetBeans 7 installer: sh netbeans-7.0-ml-linux.sh (don't sudo! - check!)
• Add Tomcat - you never know!
  
• Make a note about the locations: all under mu home directory (you never know!)
• Open NetBeans, program "Hello, world!" (check!)
• Set up the GlassFish server: ~/glassfish-3.1 does it
• Start it, start admin console - it's running on 4848 (check!)
• Will do Tomcat later - enough to play with GlassFish for the moment.
