Sun Java and Netbeans

[B.W. Willems]

It seems it cannot download the whole IDE itself. The script Synaptic
provides is merely an installer for the Netbeans package you can
download at the provided url. My suggestion is download the package and
put it in /tmp with the given permissions, then hit Enter in Synaptic to
retry...
