Example 3.3. Launching NetBeans with the Aqua look and feel

Apple has now deprecated the com.apple.mrj packages with the recent release of the java 1.4.1 update
so the -ui switch printed is incorrect.
The new -ui switch is :
-ui apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel

Making the code example 3-3 read as follows :
./runide.sh -userdir /netbeans_aqua -ui apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel -fontsize 11

This paragraph says that Mac OS X is a supported platform for JBuilder, but the
Borland site seems to disagree, listing only Windows, Linux, and Solaris as supported
for the latest version of JBuilder (which is 9 as of this writing).

AUTHOR: I contacted Borland, and their PR dept said that they have/will not
released JBuilder 8 or 9 for OS X due to a lack of market demand.

They also said that if demand increases, they may change their decision.

http://ant.apache.org/ant does not work. Instead, go to http://ant.apache.org and
choose Download in the left column. This takes you to
http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi, where you now, july 2003, can download e.g.
apache-ant-1.5.3-1-bin.tar.gz
