Re: FRC Plugins Won't Install (Netbeans on Fedora)
We're using Fedora 14 ... some things to look for (it's hard to remember, as we didn't have any problems this year getting Netbeans and Eclipse running on our Linux laptops). And these "fixes" may not have been what actually fixed it.

(1) Can't use the default open Java that comes with Fedora? We've installed the download from Sun. Make sure to fix your path to point to the right location (modify bash files).

(2) Can't use 64-bit Java? Even on the 64-bit laptops we always install the 32-bit SDK and JRE - before installing NetBeans (although I suppose there is a way, like in Eclipse, you can say which JRE / SDK you are using).

Hope that helps ... I seem to recall similar problems last year when we first tried to support Windows, Linux and MacOS to make everyone happy ;-)
