Here's an update of netbeans from 5.5 to 6.8. Highlights of what's changed

This update does not do a build from Java source code for a few reasons:
- the build system is far more complex than it was in 5.5 with a large
number of dependencies. Doing the work to build from source would be
a very large undertaking.
- Compiling from source requires lots and lots of CPU time in my tests.
- The source code is easily available for anyone that's interested.
Nothing was done to make anything that relies on native code work.
However, I believe all the shared libraries are only used for components
that are new since 5.5, so this is not a regression on OpenBSD.
I don't know if the font issues have been fixed. Would be great if someone
that had this issue could confirm whether they can reproduce or not and
if they can reproduce, what steps are needed to do so:

This is issue is still present in the Netbeans 6.8 Beta version that I
am running [1]on OpenBSD -current [2] - it happens when you use the
Clean & Build buttons and the Run button.
The official Netbeans answer to this problem is OpenBSD is not supported.
I will try your diff later - have you tried it on any other architectures?
Thanks
