Version 8.2 is out now for some time. Are you planning to make a release for this version too? It would be nice to have it, as Version 8.1 does not have PHP 7.0.

If you are not planning to release Netbeans Portable 8.2, can you point me in the right direction how could I do a portable version of the official 8.2 release?

garethflowers commented 7 years ago

Yes - I'll try and get it done soon.

hupupu commented 7 years ago

I'm looking forward to it, thanks!

garethflowers commented 7 years ago

v8.2 now available!

hupupu commented 7 years ago

Wow, that was quick! Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately it is not 100%:

in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf the paths are absolute (pointing to C:\Users\garethf...). I changed the paths to match my system, but
launching the NetBeansPortable.exe throws errors:
- Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
- Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: could not find java.dll
- Java Virtual Machine Launcher Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

Notes:

I do not have Java installed on my system (one of the reasons I want PortableNetBeans).
I made sure in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf that netbeans_jdkhome="[path_to]\App\JDK"

That's the downside of testing on a machine with Java installed :o(

I'll pull the release for now and hopefully fix later.

hupupu commented 7 years ago

I managed to make it work:

Downloaded Portabel Java from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable
Extracted it in App\JDK\

The problem is with the JDK you included in the release, it is not complete (at least java.dll is missing).

Another issue is that somehow if I try to change now netbeans_jdkhome in App\netbeans\etc\netbeans.conf, it always get written back to ...\App\JDK. It would be nice, if I could set up NetBeans to use my own Portable Java, not the included one.

I hope this notes help you to fix things.

I'm sure others may have had an easy time getting this working, but this is how I had to do it and just leaving as a reference for myself and others.
