I saw 1.7... wouldn't Netbeans work work this? I'll use Java without an IDE if I must, but because Java is such a messy language at times, an IDE is useful, to deal with all the little bits and bobs (Unfortunate, but true).

If I got 1.7 off the package system, then separately installed Netbeans, is it a possibility it would detect Java SE 1.7, and work with it, yet not require 1.5, because I installed them independently? If not, could I update to a bleeding edge version of Netbeans that might support 1.7?

OK, another question, is there another IDE that supports 1.7 on OpenBSD, and can be installed as a package? I looked at Eclipse, but it didn't say what version of Java SE is required.

I must admit, because OpenBSD's package system is so flawless and has had everything I wanted, I haven't actually built anything for a while.

I'll take a look at miscATopenbsd, thanks for the advice.

If it really becomes difficult to get an IDE running, I'll write a script that automates the Java CLI development process.
