Note all the instructions can be done as a simple user installing everything e.g. in your home area. No root privileges are required. First get the latest java jdk from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
or you can get the jdk/netbeans bundle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/jdk-netbeans-jsp-142931.html
select the file relevant for your platform (in this case linux 64Bit) and then untar the file in your target directory (home in my case)
cd ~
tar xzvf Downloads/jdk-8u92-linux-x64.tar.gz
Then get the Netbeans IDE from:
https://netbeans.org/downloads/
when asked save the file. Then in your target area (again the home directory)
cd ~
chmod +x ~/Downloads/netbeans-8.1-linux.sh
~/Downloads/netbeans-8.1-linux.sh
This will install the netbeans IDE and the glassfish web application server
Make sure you are ok with the installation directory and the choice of the jdk.
After the installation is complete let's start by checking out the
ValidationLib from the Git repository:
click finish
click open project. Then right-click the project and select "Build with Dependencies". This should automatically download all the the jar files that the project depends on and build the project.
