After the upgrade I had a strange flickering black-green-red line problem which prevented me from doing anything (I was unable to even login "blind" so to speak). Using the install CD, I was able to edit xorg.conf and comment these lines out. Good news is, this doesn't seem to be required any more :) With regards to Step 4:

Once you tweak the System-->preferences-->appearance settings in Ubuntu 8.10, you get a very good look and feel for NetBeans, Firefox or for any other display. I agree with Laszlo.

sun-java6-* comes from https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/
and since this packages come from ubuntu multiverse means that the package is Community supported and no officially supported
as you can see in :
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6_6-10-0ubuntu2/changelog

the current version is java6 u10 and sun have released the u12

If you want an officialy supported java you must go with openjdk

On Ubuntu 8.10 there are some glitches with the default human theme, mostly visible on tabs and progress bar, but if you switch to Human-Clearlooks theme everything is pretty, especially with Java 6 update 12 where they fixed the combo box look.

And now I've installed JDK 1.6u12 - with the GTK+ laf the editor works without any problems. No GUI glitches and fast :-) best regards, josh.
