I'm working through some tutorials from another post I made about a year ago and using both Netbeans and Emacs (text editor) under Linux. There seems to be a different code standard under Netbeans then when compiling on the console.
For example I can use "throws IOException" when compiling on the console, however with Netbeans I get an error about an unresolved symbol and after some expiremention I found I can use "throws Exception" instead. Another example is "aCharcter = (char)System.in.read();" works fine on the console, however in Netbeans it just skips to the next line without waiting for input from the keyboard..
So maybe the tutorials I'm using are out of date? Or does Netbeans just use a different coding standard? Makes no sense to me, but that's all I can come up with.
I've tried Eclipse also, but get random crashes and was told I should try another version of VM. I had one h*ll of a time getting an older version installed once before, and don't want to go through it again. I am running SDK 1.4.2 and 1.4.2
Java 3 Runtime Environment.
So anyway does anyone have some advice? I don't really mind coding on Emacs and compiling on the console, but I prefer the comfort and ease of use of an
IDE.
