Netbeans 15 does not find some apps located in "/bin" - linux

Netbeans 15 can't open firefox or node.js on Linux Mint 21 (Ubuntu 22).
It all boils down that it cannot see some apps located in /bin
If I go to Tools->General->Webrowser->Edit->Browse...
I cannot see firefox or node at the path /bin with the internal Netbeans file browser, while if I use the system file explorer they are shown normally.
So it seems that somehow Netbeans has no access to these applications? Strangely other apps like /bin/gpg or /bin/cp for example are shown correctly within the Netbeans file browser window (started with the browse button)
UPDATE:
It is working without problem on Netbeans 12 which I just have installed on the same system. So only Netbeans 15 has the problem.
UPDATE 2
Netbeans 15 was installed via flatpak and and I suppose that the flatpak rights management does restrict access to firefox.

Flatpak's right management / sand-boxing does restrict access to Firefox and other apps like node. If I build Netbeans 15 from source, everything is working. Flatpak can be a real mess here. :(

Why NetBeans can't find Mercurial path?

I have a Linux Mint VM, where I installed formerly NetBeans 12.x (up to 12.6) and now I've updated it to 13.0, all with flatpak, and even starting from a clean setup.
With all those setups, NetBeans can't find Mercurial, even if I really have it in /usr/bin/hg available and working (when used from the shell).
From menu Team / Mercurial / Initialize repository... I get the error "Mercurial could not be found", asking to check PATH.
The strange behavior is that if I even browse for Options and Mercurial Executable Path to /usr/bin I can't see hg in there, while it is in the filesystem!
Is NB browsing somewhere else when I open /usr/bin?
Is it accessing some virtual environment? I'm confused
I have a partial solution: the flatpak package is indeed at fail, as for some reason it's not seeing my /usr/bin but a virtualized (?) directory, where many files are missing - notably hg and hg-ssh
So I removed the package suggested by the Linux Mint Software Manager and installed the package got from the Apache NetBeans site, similarly to what #flied-onion did.
What's still missing is that NetBeans relies on the hgk application as an hg GUI interface for some functions (see Team / View). This is unknown to me, and I don't find it in any (recent) Debian flavor.

Appium Inspector don't open on Linux Ubuntu

I cannot open Appium inspector on Linux Ubuntu.
In the same folder I have 3 files:
Appium-Inspector-linux-2022.2.1.AppImage /
Appium-Server-GUI-linux-1.22.2.AppImage /
latest-linux.yml
When I open the Appium-Server-GUI-linux-1.22.2.AppImage file, start the server e click on the button to open Appium Ispector, it open a web page.
to fix this, it was necessary:
1: Start Appium Server
I did this, executing Appium-Server-GUI-linux-1.22.2.AppImage file.
2: Start Appium Inspector through of file Appium-Inspector-linux-2022.2.1.AppImage
3: Create the capabilities
After that, the Appium Inspector still don't open throught on Appium Server button, but it make it open and you can use.
Since the release of Appium v1.22 they have changed how the Appium Inspector works. I refer you to their official documentation on GitHub https://github.com/appium/appium-inspector, citing:
Appium Inspector is released in two formats:
As a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. You can get the most
recent published version of this app at the Releases section of this
repo. Simply grab the appropriate version for your OS and follow
standard installation procedures (but see the note below for macOS).
As a web application, hosted by Appium Pro. (It's currently a known
issue that the web version does not work on Safari). Please make sure
to read the note below on CORS as well.
If you like to work the old way, download Appium Desktop v1.21 or below.
install latest appium-inspector
open appium-inspector and insert "/wd/hub" in Remote Path

Can I compile/package a Node-Webkit (NW.js) app into an exe for windows and a version for Linux?

I've looked on the Node-Webkit site and it appears to say that I can make an application with HTML5 and compile it for Windows, Linux of Mac so it will run without the need for the user to install Node.js separately. However, when I try their sample apps (e.g. https://github.com/leanote/desktop-app found on the official NW.js page: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/List-of-apps-and-companies-using-nw.js ), the ".exe" file does not run the app (on either Win 7 or XP). It just opens a simple browser window with the address "nw:blank" and a gray page says "NW.JS" and does nothing.
Can these apps be packaged and run without requiring the user to install node.js?
https://github.com/leanote/desktop-app 's nw folder is not the distribute leanote app, it's just the NW. You must build the desktop-app. The README has written How to build it, How to develop it
You can download the distributed version via: https://github.com/leanote/desktop-app/releases
You might try... node-webkit-builder ... which is supposed to build a huge .EXE file which is self-contained for you. Otherwise, the instructions for distributing... how to package and distribute, see Step 2b.

Unable to configure Tomcat 7 on Eclipse Juno

I have Eclipse Juno with Spring Tools Suite plugin installed.
I need to deploy a newly imported web project to Tomcat 7, which I installed on my system via repository.
The problem is that the New Server Wizard screen won't allow me to select Tomcat 7, as the description is empty and unmodifiable.
How can I fix this? I can select other versions of Tomcat but when I select the installation path of Tomcat I get an error that the installed version is 7.
As per the instruction s provided in this site
Follow these steps, as this is a known issue
Go to Window–>Preferences–>Server–>Runtime Environments and fix the broken path/link for the server.
Rename the org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs to org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs.bak (or you can delete this file). This file can be found at \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
Rename the org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs to org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs.bak (or delete the file). This file also can be found at the same location as above.
Follow these steps
1.)Go to Window–>Preferences–>Server–>Runtime Environments and fix the broken path/link for the server.
2.)delete this file org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs under this location \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
3.)delete this file org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs under this location \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
After following these step's you can configure tomcat in eclipse.
Click on Add Configuration Runtime environments
On the Server Runtime Environments Window you will more than likely see Apache Tomcat 7.
If you remove the runtime environment and then go Back to the New Server Wizard Tomcat 7 will be available to add again.
Hope that helps. That drove me nuts for a few days
The Eclipse Juno may not be fully compatible with the Apache Tomcat 7 yet. Installing and configuring with Tomcat 6 works. Simple.

Installing jBPM on Linux

I have been using the following to set up a jBPM/JBoss server on a remote machine (linux)
http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch03.html
The above linked worked fine locally on my windows box, without any hitches. However, I am having numerous errors with starting/shutting-down the server, and having the drools-guvnor page run completely (or any other than the JBoss AS splash page on localhost:8080). Should this be working fine on linux as well, or are there any other references that I can seek? Also, I have no desire to install eclipse, just to get the jBPM designer going.
Or am I better off attempting to load jBPM into a separate JBoss install?
Running Red Hate Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8
Thank you for your time
I was unable to get the jBPM installer demo (packaged with jboss) to work. Instead I did a separate installation of jBPM and JBoss and set the JBoss home in the build.xml file. Then performed the individual installation of guvnor and designer using
ant install.guvnor.into.jboss
ant install.designer.into.jboss
Still having errors, but the designer/guvnor are up and running, now it is a database problem :(
