Install java-gnome on Ubuntu 15.10, and first try.

The java-gnome User Interface Library is a Java bindings for GTK and GNOME. To install it on Ubuntu, enter the command in Terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install libjava-gnome-java


(reference: http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/get/ubuntu.php)

First try:



Create a my first example ExamplePressMe.java (copt from HERE), under trial directory ~/java-gnome-works.

         * 'clicked' signal. This is how we do it in java-gnome.
         * 
         * Button.Clicked is a Java interface. You create an instance of it to
         * do what you want when the callback happens, and then pass it to the

         * interface. Most IDEs will prompt you asking if you want to "Add
         * unimplemented methods?" You bet! And ta-da! You have exactly the
         * signature you need to implement a 'clicked' signal handler.
         * 
         * Since we declared b as final we can use it in the anonymous nested
         * class (yet *another* reason that final is worth using). If the
         * situation were otherwise, then the source parameter can be used to
         * find out what Button was clicked.

         * but no events will be processed until the main loop is running;
         * that's where the signals will come from. This call blocks. You have
         * finished setting things up and now it's up to your signal handlers
         * to carry out the program's logic in response to the user's actions;
         * the essence of event-driven programming.

Make a tests directory to hold the output.

Enter the command to compile the java code with java-gnome.
$ javac -classpath /usr/share/java/gtk-4.1.jar -d tests ExamplePressMe.java

Run it:
$ java -classpath /usr/share/java/gtk-4.1.jar:tests button.ExamplePressMe

Where /usr/share/java/gtk-4.1.jar is the installed gtk-4.1.jar.

Install Netbeans IDE on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10

Before install Netbeans IDE, install JDK8 first.

Follow the video to install Netbeans IDE on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10:



Try a example in Netbeans IDE:

Install Oracle Java 8 on Ubuntu 15.10 via ppa:webupd8team


ppa:webupd8team/java is a Oracle Java (JDK) Installer (automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK7/JDK8/JDK9).

To install on Ubuntu 15.10, enter the commands in terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer


webupd8team/java also provide oracle-java8-set-default, automatically sets the Java 8 environment variables and sets JDK8 as the default JDK. To install it, use the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
