NetBeans 6.7.1 with JavaFX sdk 1.2.1 on RedHat or OEL

[matthewbaldwin]

Hi,

I downloaded the NB 6.7.1 for Linux with the JavaFX SDK 1.2.1.

Sun JDK 1.6 u17
Linux Kernel: 2.6.18-128.el5

Created Project
When I compiled the project I get the following error in the build-impl.xml

ERROR: Unknown profile: desktop
/home/oracle/NetBeansProjects/HelloWorld/nbproject/build-impl.xml:143: exec returned: 255

The argument being passed is

<arg value="${javafx.profile}"/> which is set to "desktop"

There are only 2 supported profiles supported per the javafx docs: "desktop" or "mobile"

The default is "desktop"

I removed the argument and tried again. I got an unknown profile error. I then tried calling the javafxpackager directly via the command line and the same problem.

I think I can safely conclude that this is a javafxpackager defect on linux.

After googling around...I found one defect raised in NB 6.5.1

http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161743

JIRA issues:
RT-4153 [Linux] Unable to execute JavaFX application: ERROR: Unknown profile:
desktop
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-4153

RT-4139 Packager does not properly work after NetBeans installation
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-4139

Has anyone found a workaround to make this work? It seems strange to me thatI know that the "beta" distro is supported for Ubuntu...but it would have manifested across all linux distros correct?

Thank you for any help on this.
