[done] Netbeans 6.8 / Glassfish 3 / Java EE 6

Here is a good example :

Thanks, but I understand the licence (see above) so that I am not allowed to split the package in parts over several folders. I go with thenktor, use of /usr/lib/netbeans[-6.8} and add the folder to execution path (or create a start script in /usr/bin).

No, according to the licence, you have the right to move the files in different folders in a package.

(a) You distribute the Redistributable complete and unmodified and only bundled
as part of Your applets and applications ("Programs"),

You must not modify the files or drop some of them. But you can move the config files in /etc/.

/usr/lib/netbean-ver is the right place. Do not use "/opt" as in the slackbuild example.
config files must go to /etc or a subdirectory. using ".new" in another directory (like /opt in the slackbuild example) does not work.

Here is a good example :

Here is another one as an alternative:

http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-1 ... SlackBuild

I have to investigate in it a little bit.

[damNageHack]

using ".new" in another directory (like /opt in the slackbuild example) does not work.

".new" files will be handled by doinst.sh, see

http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.0 ... /doinst.sh
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-1 ... /doinst.sh

So, what is the correct Salix way of doing?

Building packages with slkbuild

Features

Optional

* dotnew - These are generally configuration files. They will be renamed with a .new extension and the appropriate addition will be made to the doinst.sh to move them over if appropriate to do so during install.

Required Software

Before you install the IDE, the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 Update 19 (version 1.5.0_19) or JDK 6 Update 14 or newer must be installed on your system. If you do not have an installation of JDK, you cannot proceed with the installation. You can download the latest JDK version at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads.

For the PHP, Ruby, and C/C++ download options, you can install the JRE instead of the JDK. However, if you are planning to use any of the Java features, you will need the JDK.

This means for my package:
Dependencies required: jre (OR) jdk
Suggestions (strongly recommended): jdk
Other suggestions: apache-maven

For C/C++/Fortran support please take a look at
http://netbeans.org/community/releases/ ... tions.html
I would appreciate getting some test reports for using C/C++/Fortran with netbeans. Maybe I can then add suggestions for additional compiler tools required for the plugin of Netbeans.

Note: Note that the runtimes, such as the GlassFish application server and Apache Tomcat, are available only with platform-specific installers.

Because build-netbeans.sh uses the OS independent zip file, Glassfish and Tomcat are not parts of my netbeans package. Therefore also availabe with arch=noarch, Netbeans is written in java and uses some additional embedded jars.

I hope that you can confirm with my decisions here.

Is this according to your rules and needs? Notice that the .txz file has 186MB

No way to tell anything from that list.
