NetBeans 9 installation issue

[hantsy]

I followed in the installation guide and try to install Jeddict plugin via NetBeans 9 update url, but failed.

Can you confirm the IDE build number ?
It should be latest Apache NetBeans build : incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708

I was using the Apache NetBeans 9 release version.

@hantsy
Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 (Build incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708)
can not use Java 10. Only 9 or 8. Solution is install either Java 8 from OpenJDK or Java 9 from https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk9&jvmVariant=hotspot and edit your file: c:\installation_path\etc\netbeans.conf and add uncomment the line:

#netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"

as to point to your JAVA_HOME

Hi @SamSharaf,

Java 11 an LTS release have you tried using it with NetBeans IDE 9.0.

[hantsy]

@SamSharaf I switched to Jddict/NetBeans package bundle and got it work temporarily.

@jGauravGupta
Apologies for the late reply.
Although I understand that the current Jeddict version 5.2 is only for incubator-netbeans-release-334-on-20180708, I pushed my luck with the latest successful build in the incubator. Here is a detailed reproduce steps for what I did yesterday:

1. I checked out the commit ID 2b64e72228a20afad82953cf64c525bcb04a1371 pointing to the latest Jenkins successful build 939 on linux

2. Edited the file: cluster.properties, to add nb.cluster.enterprise as follows:
   clusters.config.release.list=
${clusters.config.java.list},
nb.cluster.apisupport,
nb.cluster.webcommon,
nb.cluster.php,
nb.cluster.groovy,
nb.cluster.enterprise,
nb.cluster.ergonomics

3. On MacOS 10.13.6 and JAVA_HOME pointing to java version "1.8.0_192" and Ant version 1.10.5 invoked the following:
   ant -Dcluster.config=release

4. After a successful build, I updated the file incubator-netbeans/nbbuild/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf with JDK 11 as follows:
   netbeans_jdkhome="PATH_TO/oracle64-11.0.1"

5. The Netbeans about window shows as attached:
   

6. Also, installed the Java SE and EE plugins as attached:
   

7. Also added the Jeddict in the plugins update center as attached:
   

8. Finally tried to install Jeddict and got the negative result as attached:
   

I hope this helps!
