Questions about sw applications
Hi everybody, I'm new to Trisquel (I like it a lot :-)
I have some questions:
I would install both
Java with NetBeans IDE.
I suppose the correct sw is OpenJDK, that I don't find in the repository, should I download from the site https://openjdk.java.net/install/index.html ?
And in this case, how to install?
In the past in windows I used a Java + Netbeans bundle, is there something similar also as Free Software for Trisquel?
Besides this, I would use
Octave, would anybody suggest me a good editor?
Thanks in advance,
Cristian

NetBeans and openjdk are in the repository. You can install NetBeans via
Add/Remove Applications, Synaptic Package Manager, or the command line.
See here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software
openjdk is a dependency of NetBeans, so it will be installed
automatically.
Many thanks for your message!

You can view a package's dependencies in a terminal with
"apt depends [package-name]". For example,
$ apt depends netbeans
netbeans
|Depends: default-jdk (>= 2:1.8)
Depends:
default-jdk
openjdk-8-jdk
openjdk-9-jdk
Depends: libnb-apisupport3-java (= 8.1+dfsg2-3)
Depends: libnb-ide14-java (= 8.1+dfsg2-3)
Depends: libnb-java5-java (= 8.1+dfsg2-3)
Depends: libnb-platform18-java (>= 8.1)
The same information is available in Synaptic by searching for a package
and viewing its "Properties".
Many Thanks! :-)
