Question

Complete error message: The JDK is missing and is required to run some NetBeans modules Please use the --jdkhome command line option to specify a JDK installation or see ht

Answer 1

This worked for me

1. install full JDK
2. either edit /etc/netbeans.conf
    2.1 unmark netbeans_jdkhome
    2.2 link to JDK location e.g. /usr/local/share/java/jdk1.6.0_07/ 
3. or use --jdkhome command-line option e.g. ./bin/netbeans --jdkhome /usr/local/share/java/jdk1.6.0_07/ 

take care with the "/" at the end
