problem installing Netbean

Hi all,
Today I download Netbean for my fedora. then I try installed .

But I get following error.

As I am fresher to Llinux I don't know what to do.Somebody help me please.

Did you install a JDK? You will need either a Sun JDK or OpenJDK. Did you set JAVA_HOME to the JDK's installation directory?

I always download the bundle of Netbeans and the latest JDK. It avoids this problem.

Which command to use for setting variable?

I have the JDK installed at /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17 and set JAVA_HOME using:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17

yes. but I can no longer use it after restarting the command prompt. The above command seems to set JAVA_HOME temporarily.
I want it to be permanent. Any other command? And I also want to know how to set PATH.
Somebody help me when you are free.
thanks

To make it permanent, edit the ~/.bashrc file, placing the export statement in there. You can do the same with PATH. Here is an example of setting PATH:

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Thanks peter. really thanks.
