NetBeans 8.2 has shipped

According to the chart listed on the NetBeans Release Roadmap, version 8.2 was supposed to ship in September. The anticipated release date in the Release Overview section was "end of September." It was a few days late, but it's here now!

It's great news! And users should be eager to start using the new goodness like PHP 7 and ECMAScript 2015 (ES6). However, Windows users may have an extra step in getting the installer working.

The bug was first reported in October of 2015.

"An error occurred while verifying bundled JVM" on Windows Server 2012 R2

The issue has a screen capture of the error message.

Comment 7 holds the key to getting the installer up and running.

Use the command line to launch the installer.
Use the --javahome option to point to a valid Java installation.

Example

C:\> \Users\USERNAME\Downloads                        [wrap]
    \netbeans-8.2-php-windows-x64.exe                 [wrap]
    --javahome "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60"

Skype Now Supports Emergency Calls In the US

With the latest round of updates to Skype , it was noticed today that the instant messaging and VoIP phone service now supports emergency calling in the United States. The release notes for the most recent update to the Android version of Skype indicated that the service now allows calls to be made to US emergency calling systems via 911. Telephony services like Skype, Google Voice , and Vonage typically don't offer this emergency calling ability without some sort of intermediate step like deferring to the phone's default dialer, as is the case with Voice, or setting up a physical address location ahead of time which is how Vonage handles it. The indication is that Skype will handle the 911 calls natively, but when verifying with an account that does not have a Skype phone number assigned to it, it was found that the instructions in the FAQ explaining how to turn on emergency calling are not accurate.

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided. If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests. If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best. But here it is in any case.

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ). From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
