NetBeans on Ubuntu

I'm usually a hardcore Vim fan but I've started to use NetBeans for my Ruby work. It's a fairly typical install but the one quirk is that $JAVAHOME has to be defined for the installer and Ubuntu's JDK package doesn't set it.

That's easily remedied though; download NetBeans, install the JDK and pass --javahome to the installer as a command line option.

#> netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh --java-home /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
