How to use Netbeans and Google code

I used to use Google code subversion repository before. However, since that time some things changed. So I though I already knew how to connect to subversion repository but new security features forced me to spend a lot more time expected.

First thing you need to do is either register new project or be assigned as project committer or owner at Google Code. After you gain access to project you have to go to Source(tab)->Checkout.

Now you have to generate googlecode.com password in the first blue square you will see googlecode.com password link click on this link. After new page opens click on the button Generate or if you already have generated password it will be written in bold after text: Your googlecode.com password:

If you have password, access to project and google user account we may proceed to Netbeans part of tutorial.

At the time of writing current version of Netbeans IDE is 6.8.

So from menu click on the Team->Subversion->Checkout…

In the Repository URL: you should enter https://yourproject.googlecode.com/svn

In User: for example if your gmail username is yourname@gmail.com you should enter only yourname.

Password: for password field you should use password generated on the google code for the specific project.

Now click Next.

On the next screen just click Finish and after that Netbeans will require from you to either open new project or open existing project if repository is empty.Similar Posts:

This story begins somehow with me pulling my hairs out in reality. I was working on project that is shared over SVN but somehow as it usually happens in stories like this I had to use another computer not usually used for programming. And there was netbeans installed but it was using elder version of Java development kit. After I tried to find proper solution on the internet and some time trying to include all needed (required and missing classes) I found somewhere on the Sun website that netbeans in fact uses special config file for storing path to the JDK used. Imagine with all the good things Netbeans offers you cannot change JDK version from some menu. If you try to find it your attempts will be futile.

Now, how to solve this problem. It is very simple traverse to following directory:

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.1\etc\netbeans.conf

Open this file with some text editor I suggest wordpress

Then you should find following part of code or something similar to this:

netbeans_jdkhome=”C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10

When you find it just copy the path to the version you would like to use it looks so simple now wouldn’t you agree.

The paths presented were on windows OS however I am sure that you will be able to adjust it for your operating system of choice.

Regards I hope this helps someone.
