Install JDK, netbeans, Eclipse in Puppy 2.14 (and Muppy0084)

[MU]

download JDK from http://www.sun.com
http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads/

I used jdk-6-nb-5_5-linux.bin.
There also is a smaller one without netbeans:
jdk-6-linux-i586.bin

It needs a lot of space, more than I had in my Puppy.
So I saved it in /mnt/sda6/
It required 300 MB temporarily, and 230 MB for the final installation.

To install it, I ran:
./jdk-6-nb-5_5-linux.bin -is:tempdir /mnt/sda2/jdktemp

This gave me an error.
I had to replace the symlink /bin/df with a df binary:
I add it as attachment, extract it to /bin.

Then tried it again.
Now the installer written in Java started, and I could enter the final installation folder.


Finally I created a startscript for netbeans:
/usr/local/bin/netbeans

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

/mnt/sda6/java/netbeans-5.5/bin/netbeans

-------------------
To be able to run Java programs, create a file
/etc/profile.local

Code: Select all

export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/sda6/java/jdk1.6.0/bin

Then reboot, or type in a xterm:
. /etc/profile.local

Now in this xterm, this PATH is used.

--------------------
Download eclipse, and extract it.
I used version 322.
Then I ran from the above mentioned xterm:
cd /mnt/sda6/eclipse322/eclipse
./eclipse

You should create a startscript for it, too, like the netbeans example above.

Did your eclipse work without mozilla 1.72 GTK? I had to use that to get mine working.(Eclipse 3.21) Also, eclipse gives a funny error if it is run with Java 1.6.0 as the vm, no problem with 1.5.0.

Eclipse 322 ran out of the box in Puppy 2.14 with the above mentioned downloads, also the Help worked and Javadoc.

I extra tried Puppy 2.14, because I had read about problems with the mozilla-libs before. But I encountered no problems, except the issue with "df".
I did not have devx_214.sfs installed.
Before I installed only very few dotpups, like XFileExplorer and PSI.

Eclipse has an internal option to upgrade.
I did not try that in Puppy yet, but found that at work.
You might try that.

Quick instruction: SDK and Eclipse

Screenshot running the "Hello World" tutorial is attached at bottom.

JDK and Netbeans on Puppy 3
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25784

-----------------------------------------

This installation was done in Muppy 0084 mini with addons.sfs.
It includes already a Java runtime (JRE).

downloaded:
java_ee_sdk-5_06-linux.bin
eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

to:
/mnt/sdc3/java/downloads/2008-11-08

Open rxvt.

------------------------------------
SDK:

I first created a symlink:

mkdir /mnt/sdc3/java/5_06
ln -s /mnt/sdc3/java/5_06 /usr/local/java5_06

So I can install it on my external USB-Harddisk, but using the symlink, I always have a defined
path, even if the drives device number should change in future.

Now install it:
cd /mnt/sdc3/java/downloads/2008-11-08
chmod 755 java_ee_sdk-5_06-linux.bin
./java_ee_sdk-5_06-linux.bin

This gave an error about missing temporary space.
So I ran:
mkdir /mnt/sdc3/tmp
./java_ee_sdk-5_06-linux.bin -tmpdir /mnt/sdc3/tmp

This launches the grafical installer.
I choose as installation path:
/usr/local/java5_06

After installation, I was told this:
Start the application server:
/usr/local/java5_06/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
Start the admin console in a webbrowser:
http://localhost:4848

I did not run these commands, but noted them down for later use.


-------------------------------------------
Eclipse:

I want to install it to
/mnt/sdc3/java/eclipse

So I type:
cd /mnt/sdc3/java
tar -xzvf /mnt/sdc3/java/downloads/2008-11-08/eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

Here, again, I use a symlink to have a defined path:
ln -s /mnt/sdc3/java/eclipse/ /usr/local/eclipse

Now run it:
cd /usr/local/eclipse
./eclipse

After 2 1/2 minutes (Pentium 700, 1 gig Ram), it asks for a workspace, and suggests /root/workspace.
I use a symlink, too:
mkdir /mnt/sdc3/java/workspace1
ln -s /mnt/sdc3/java/workspace1/ /root/workspace

Hi MU
I am trying to install the java 1.6.21 jdk as the nucleus of a java development system. I am using puppy 5.0.1. I've downloaded the .bin file and moved it to /usr/local/java. When I try to run the installer I get an out of disk space error.

# ./jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin --tempdir /mnt/sda1/tempbeans
You will need atleast 266132 kBytes of Disk Free
Please free up the required Disk Space and try again

# ./jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin -is:tempdir /mnt/sda1/tempbeans
You will need atleast 266132 kBytes of Disk Free
Please free up the required Disk Space and try again

I am sure it's the df problem you refer to in your post but I can't follow the instructions for replacing df (they are a little too high level for me). You refer to getting a new df binary but I'm not sure how to do that. I installed the coreutils package using ppm and rebooted but I had the same problem.

Could you please expand on your instructions for replacing df. (1) Where did you get the package. (2) How do you extract the package to a known location so that you can grab a df binary. (3) Do you need to replace the busybox df when the java installation is finished to avoid problems with existing puppy scripts.

I promise to update the thread (or start a new thread) with my experiences getting netbeans/eclipse/java ee/glassfish once I get past this problem.

Thanks in advance

Swarnick,

I haven't installed jdk for awhile, but it's usually a painless procedure. Try moving the binary to /mnt/home, then run it. I can't recall whether you then have the option of altering the install location to /usr/local/java, but it doesn't matter, as wherever you install it to, say /mnt/home, you can then just drag the install directory to /usr/local if you want, as java will run from anywhere. You just need to symlink the binaries to say /usr/bin.

I installed Eclipse (I think 3.4.1, I'm not sure because I don't have my pc right now) and the internal browser is not working.
Shows the message: " SWT Browser Control is not available".
I read in other posts like this for example, that it has something to do with:
Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.x GTK2
XULRunner 1.8.x - 1.9.2.x
or Firefox.
I installed one of the package managers's xulrunners but it didn't work.
Has anybody made the internal browser work?
