Intel Edison with Netbeans

Basically, Intel Edison using Yocto Linux and it bundling with OpenJDK8. You can check by type “java –version” after you logon to Edison with SSH tools.

In this tutorial, I would like to show you how to integrate Netbeans with your Intel Edison device. First, you must know the Java Runtime location, for your reference you may find in /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/.

Now, lets start:

1.      Create new project in your NetBeans

2.      Select categories java and project java application

3.      For test connection, just type helloWorld in the project name the most famous starter for learning programming and select your project location.

4.      Once you complete step 3, then press “Finish”. Now, start fill up your code by adding “System.out.println(“Hello World!!!)” as it seen in the picture below

5.      Try to run it. This application will run on your local machine

6.      To make it run on your remote machine you need to configure your project properties, by right click mouse (for right hand person) on your project name as seen in the picture below

7.      In dialog project properties, select categories -> Run and press “New…” button. Create New Configuration dialog box will pop up, then type your configuration name, to end it press “OK” button.

8.      Next, press “Manage Platforms…” button. When you inside this dialog box, press “Add Platform…” button.

9.      Select platform type “Remote Java Standard Edition” then press “Next” button.

10.   Type your Platform Name, Host, Username and Password. Make sure you already configure your SSH using “configure_edison” command in your device. Then type your Remote JRE Path -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/ by default your Working Directory on your remote machine is in /home/root/NetBeansProjects/ as seen below.

11.   Once, your press “Finish” button, Netbeans will validate your configuration.

12.   Now, select “Runtime Platform” as seen in the picture below and press “OK” button to complete.

13.   Now, try to run again. You will see, Netbeans will run your application on remote machine as seen below

To see this application actually running on your machine, you can check your working directory on your machine as you write it on step 10 “Working Dir” as you can see below

Now, you can start develop your application on Intel Edison with Netbeans.

Have fun
