Apache Netbeans 11.2 Availablility for ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4B)?
Does the download link Apache-NetBeans-11.2-bin-linux-x64.sh <https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/Apache-NetBeans-11.2-bin-linux-x64.sh> ( SHA-512 <https://www.apache.org/dist/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/Apache-NetBeans-11.2-bin-linux-x64.sh.sha512>, PGP ASC <https://www.apache.org/dist/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/Apache-NetBeans-11.2-bin-linux-x64.sh.asc>) provide support for the ARM64 chip set, as is used by the Raspberry Pi 4B? Has been my experience that x64 downloads in general do not support ARM64 specifically.

Very cool, thank you for sharing. Makes me want to work with a Pi
again...it's been a while.

Well, I compiled NetBeans on slower systems. I suspect even a spinning
hard drive beats an SD card and even a 'weak' system becomes quite
good for work with an SSD.
If I were to buy some ARM gadgets nowadays I would also play with the
ROCKPro64 from https://www.pine64.org

I guess that depends on what you mean by heavy. The RPi4 is the only hardware platform, given it's physical size, that met our performance metrics--we've been waiting a long time for this capability. We've tried the BeagleBone Black and some others, but wold not run the Ubuntu operating system. And as I elluded to, this was important.

I tend not to question the need for multiple versions of Java.
Only this week I found myself installing GraalVM Java 8 after something
would not work as a native-image with GraalVM Java 11.

Re: SOLVED: Apache Netbeans w/NetBeans 8.2 C/C++ plugin on Raspberry Pi 4B (ARM64) running Ubuntu 18.04.4/xubuntu
Posted by "John G. Weed" <no...@fastmail.com>.
I will try to build one without the JDK 8 and see what happens; if it works, I will update my instructions. As for your comment "You could never compile something heavy on that thing..." I guess that depends on what you mean by heavy. The RPi4 is the only hardware platform, given it's physical size, that met our performance metrics--we've been waiting a long time for this capability. We've tried the BeagleBone Black and some others, but wold not run the Ubuntu operating system. And as I elluded to, this was important.
Thank you for your inputs

Posted by "John G. Weed" <no...@fastmail.com>.
All,
I am one to give credit where credit is due. Emilian was correct in as far as the basic C/C++ functionality does not require JDK 8. So I will amend my instructions to reflect that revelation. For my own circumstances, we still require the JDK 8 to have the software perform as expected. The reason is unclear, and probably not worth digging into a this point. I'm just elated to be able to run the same, identical software baseline on Ubuntu 18.04 on all of our Enterprise, Tactical and now pocket versions. I spent the afternoon testing the software and it performs better than expected. A few issues that require some attention but nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. I am elated!
Thanks so much everyone.

I'm not entirely certain why you installed Java 8 from Oracle when you
also have JDK 11 in the repository and NetBeans runs with Java 11.
The RPi is a capable machine, only slow part is the IO... You could
never compile something heavy on that thing although in the past you
would have compiled many things on a quad core / 4GB machine.

SOLVED: Apache Netbeans w/NetBeans 8.2 C/C++ plugin on Raspberry Pi 4B (ARM64) running Ubuntu 18.04.4/xubuntu
Posted by "John G. Weed" <no...@fastmail.com>.
All,
Forgive me if this needs to be sent via some other venue, but since this has been such a pain in the butt to find an answer to, I thought I'd write out the steps I followed to build a Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB) running the Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS operating system, with the xubuntu desktop, for the purpose of running the NetBeans 11.2 IDE with (most importantly) support for the NetBeans 8.2 C/C++ plugin--one long run-on sentence.
Our software baseline is currently running on some pretty hefty HP DL-380s (the Enterprise version), as well as some smaller tactical units. But we were missing a portable, pocket version platform. I wanted to be able to use not only the same operating system (Ubuntu 18.04), but the same IDE as well. This would dramatically decrease any cross platform maintenance issues. The following steps make this entirely possible. Many thanks to the folks who provided valuable suggestions.
The following are the steps required to build a Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS server based on the Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB) platform supporting the Apache NetBeans 11.2 IDE with the NetBeans 8.2 C/C++ plugin. If you are already well versed in Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi you may find the instructions a tad verbose. However, in order to reach the widest possible audience, I’ve taken the time to illustrate in excruciating detail. Please forward any changes or correction to nonsequitur@fastmail.com.
Required:
1. Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB
1. HDMI monitor
2. USB Keyboard and mouse
3. USB power supply
2. 16GB MicroSD
3. Windows 10 or equivalent PC (to burn Ubuntu image to MicroSD card)
Windows PC Steps:
1. Wipe-clean (delete all exiting partitions) and format the 16GB MicroSD card using MiniTool Partition Wizard or equivalent
2. Download file ubuntu-18.04.4-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img <https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi/thank-you?version=18.04.4&architecture=arm64+raspi3> from site https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi
3. Using Win32 Disk Imager or equivalent, write the ubuntu-18.04.4-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img to the MicroSD card.
Raspberry PI 4B (RPi4):
1. With power off, connect monitor, keyboard and mouse to the RPi4
2. Insert imaged MicroSD card into the RPi4 and power up
3. Login using username "ubuntu" and password "ubuntu"

Re: Apache Netbeans 11.2 Availablility for ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4B)?
Posted by Hans Grimmelshausen HG <Fa...@mail.de>.
Hello John,
I'd prefer the Pi Foundation's dedicated Raspbian on their Pi devices over
Ubuntu, because in contrast to Ubuntu, Raspbian is tailored for the Pi
architecture and hence runs smoother on the Pi, and out of the box, i.e. with
all the right hardware drivers and other tools (like raspi-config) in-place -
most of them developed by the Pi Foundation.
On x86 desktop machines I use Ubuntu (with Xfce), but Raspbian (with Xfce) on
the Pi. (I used to use Ubuntu on the Pi (with Xfce) for a few years, and it
was nice, but Raspbian is much more solid in my experience.)
Since both Ubuntu and Raspbian are Debian based, for us normal users the
important things, including the apt-get eco-system, do work the same way.
Including the installation of the XFCE desktop packages via apt-get install.
Also the newest Openjdk 11.0.6 runs very well on the Raspbian Pi (not sure
anymore if it was pre-installed, but a "sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk" does
the job in any case), so everything should be ready for your Netbeans on Pi
experiment.
Good luck! Greetings,
Hans

Posted by Lister Jonathan <jo...@vaisala.com>.
I have used (embedded ARM) Java on many different Raspberry Pi models, starting with the original right up to the latest, and have always been satisfied, sometimes delighted, even with JavaFX projects.
A couple of tips that you may have already realized:
a) all models of Pi allow you to configure a (volatile) ram disc - much faster than using the SD card and avoids too many read/write cycles which can eventually damage the SD card.
b) later models (4) of the Pi support 2 x USB3 with a dedicated controller, max (combined) 480Mb/s - so you can easily connect and use fast non-volatile USB3 storage devices.
c) So far I haven't typically needed an IDE on the Pi but have instead used the NetBeans Remote Java SE feature that allows you to develop on a desktop and deploy / debug on the target device (Pi). Unfortunately NetBeans doesn't support Remote Java SE for maven based projects, only Ant projects - Maven support for Remote Java SE would be my top priority wish for future NB development ;-)
Good luck with the Pi,
Jonathan

NetBeans 11.2 does not come with the C/C++ plugins, but I guess you
can take those somewhere else.
That being said, although 95% of NetBeans is basically Java (so,
crossplatform) and the scripts only assume something Linux-like (so,
hardware arch independent) there is some native code in there. For
example, the Java profiler has some. JavaFX has some. I would not go so
far as to say NetBeans 100% works on ARM64. But... for your needs I
expect it would.

Hello,
In NB 11's menu Tools -> Plugins, tab Settings, please enable in the left
option list the "Netbeans 8.2 Plugin Portal".
Then go to the tab "Available Plugins", press the update button and then
install the "C/C++" plug-in.
The C, C++, Fortran bits work then also under NB 11. (At least here on Debian
based Ubuntu Linux, where the GNU C compiler gcc is pre-installed.)
This could also work on a Pi's Raspbian Linux, but you would have to test it
first.
For standard Java 2 SE things, excluding the Profiler like Emilian wrote, NB
should work smoothly also on the Pi's Raspbian, too. At least it did when I
used it on a Pi3 some time ago.
For non-standard things like JavaFX, you would have to install JavaFX for the
ARM/Pi first. This part was easier with early JDK 8 versions, which came with
JavaFX included also on the Pi.
Another possibility to use NB for the Raspbian Pi, as long as you have a
"big" desktop machine running, would be to use NB's cool feature "Java
Platform" -> "Remote Java Standard Edition". This way NB runs on your "big"
desktop machine and just remote copies the project's classes/jars to the Pi
and starts it remotely there. But since a 4 GB RAM Pi4 is fast enough, I
think using NB directly on the Pi is much more straightforward.
Greetings,
Hans

Hello John,
Since (the important parts of) Netbeans is written in Java, it runs well on
the Raspberry Pi.
I haven't checked it explicitly on the Pi4, but I used to use Netbeans a lot
on the Pi3. There I just copied the unpacked platform independent Netbeans
zip archive from my x86 Linux machine to the ARM Pi, and all worked well.
(Since the Pi has Debian based Raspbian Linux, even the Linux starter script
for Netbeans works without change.)
On the 1 GB RAM Pi3 with its 1200 MHz ARM8-A53, Netbeans was already well
usable, so it should fly on the 1-4 GB RAM Pi4 with its 1500 MHz ARM8-A72 ?
Greetings,
Hans
