I’ve just installed NetBeans IDE from the Education repository. It’s working fine, the plugin support is easier the in Eclipse, but it can’t find the Javadoc. How can I install it, or if it’s installed (it’s must to be installed because Eclipse shows the description for each method) how to link it in NetBeans?
Thanks!
Okay. I’m downloaded the entire javadoc (Save it to somewhere - the dircetory should be not hidden unless you can’t find it in the File dialog). Open NetBeans, go to Tools -> Java Platforms. Select the platform what you’re using and click to the Javadoc tab. Here hit the Add ZIP/Folder button and browse for the folder what contains the java documentation (also contains the index.html file) and hit the Add ZIP/Folder button.
ps.: If you have two platforms in the platform manager - JDK x.x and JDK x.x(Default) - add the package to the platform what isn’t marked as (Default), unless it won’t work.
The funny part - I’m in a computer methods 2 AP class right now, which is a java class, and I just asked my teacher 
… he said it is initially saved at your JDK location, which is probably, /usr/local/jdk1.6 or w/e version you have. So usually you should look for it there. Happy with java? I kind of like it, netbeans is quite awesome, although I use BlueJ for school since it does not give you any methods, and therefore you learn how to figure stuff out yourself.
Good luck.
Ow, thanks. I have no documentation there. Am I happy with Java? Hmmm, Java makes the programming easier - and makes the exec time a bit slower. It isn’t good in some cases - example today in my case. 
I wanted to solve a problem, but with with Java and with a (n log n) algorithm it’s nearly impossible in 3sec. It would be OK with another sorting algorithm - example with the O(kN) radix short. But it takes less time to learn C++ from the beginning then to implement this sorting algorithm in Java on hash tables. 
I’ve personally done so little C++, what do you think, should I start looking at it. I’m pretty good at java, since I’ve taked 2 AP classes so far, and I’ve done some C# with Microsoft Visual Studio, but that was before I even started operating on a linux machine. Should I go into C++ as well as Java, or would that mess up my mind, since I know there is a difference in how things are scripted.
Switching from Java to C++ from point of syntax isn’t a big deal. I’ve implemented a lot of algorithms in Java, and now I can copy/paste to cpp files 5-6 lines without correcting anything. But… for C++ you need a completely new approach for solving problems.
ps.: This is why we have 2 different books from Bruce E.- Thinking in Java, Thinking in C++.
Thanks a lot.
