Setup developer environment

Here follows the steps I take to setup a complete developer environment.

Development environment

Even though an advanced texteditor would do, we recommend the use of an IDE to manage, compile and debug all Java code. There are several good ones, and we have chosen Netbeans from Oracle. It supports several different platforms, have good support for Java but also clientside stuff like HTML and Javascript, and last but not least it's free under the GPL license.

Download Netbeans here. (Take the Java EE-version to get HTML and javascript support)

If you still want to use an texteditor, we recommend Brackets.

Ubuntu

Install Java 8

See https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Setup JAVA_HOME by editing /etc/environment, and add:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
JDK_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Run source /etc/environment

Test with echo $JAVA_HOME
