Netbeans 12 on OpenBSD 6.7
I have some disappointment on netbeans 11, because plugin activation problems i face. Netbeans 12 i feel different, no errors on plugin activation. Beginning my trials for Netbeans 12 LTS (yes its a long term support version), i downloaded a platform independent zip file and extract it on my home folder. I saw on the website that older version no longer supported, including Netbeans 11 ???
This trials run on OpenBSD 6.7 laptop. Open terminal and cd to netbeans12/bin. Execute ./netbeans& [enter]. The Netbeans 12 run with JDK 8 just fine (oldest JDK version supported by Netbeans 12). First time first , activate all installed plugin to see if any errors happen. No errors, its good down the road. Right away Netbeans 12 do a task of downloading repository, hmmm. This downloading stuff is new and it takes long time to complete, i leave it over night, maybe just my slow old laptop cant handle it :). So far its a positive experience and i will say its a good job to the developers.

Upgrade OpenBSD 6.6 to 6.7
This is my first time upgrading OpenBSD. Usually i do full reinstall but it just too time wasting, so i tried these step.
- sysupgrade
- pkg_add -u
sysupgrade will update your OpenBSD by rebooting and download installation package from internet (i think). Then pkg_add -u will update all of installed program (take a long time). Its a successful upgrade. Thanks to OpenBSD developer who make it so seamless and work beautifully. Great work.
OpenBSD File Location (info from porter guide)
Create text file with ed
Unix alike system have ed for editing text file which is i feel strange at first. I learned some time ago to create small text file out of curiosity.
Lets try by creating a text file containing 3 lines.
- type ed on terminal
- type a then enter (a is append command in ed)
- type your text file content.
- To end input mode type . then enter on a line.
- Type w filename.txt then enter to save to a file.
- Type q to quit from ed.
Here we will show in a terminal.
