[Source] troubleshooting Netbeans configuration and Xj3D build_nps.xml under 64-bit Windows 7

[Don Brutzman]

third OS test of NPS build:  switching my configuration back to
Windows 32 configuration still worked.

Details for reconfiguring Netbeans to take advantage of 64-bit
windows can be found at
https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/developers.html#NetBeansWindows64

=====================================
Netbeans Windows 64-bit configuration: 

Download and install 64-bit Java 
Add the new java installation in Netbeans via Tools, Java Platforms menu 
Set the new java version in each Project Properties 
Update %USERPROFILE%\.netbeans\7.0\etc\netbeans.conf, changing 

netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_29"
              
to remove the (x86) as follows: 
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_29"
Errors and exceptions are recorded in %USERPROFILE%\.netbeans\7.0\var\log\messages 

=====================================

all the best, Don
