Netbeans 6.5 + Ubuntu 8.10 LAF Bug
Posted by Roger Keays, 9 December 2008, 12:42 PM
This is how Netbeans 6.5 looked out of the box on Ubuntu 8.10 for me. The line spacing is screwed up.
The problem was Ubuntu had installed openjdk-6-jdk for me, but Netbeans must have only been tested with sun-java6-jdk. To fix this fire up your terminal and type:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk $ sudo rm /usr/lib/jvm/default-java $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/ /usr/lib/jvm/default-java

A more "correct" way, rather using rm and ln, would be to use the command alternatives. There's a GNOME version called galternatives, iirc. Either one gives you an interface of some sort for managing things like this. :)

Hey Jason, thanks for tip :) I've been through too many linux distros to remember how to do this stuff on each one!
