Hi - I've checked the link, which works in the current trunk. Sun lists the package as NetBeans, I'm not sure I follow why it needs to be referred to as netbeans?

I think 'NetBeans' is the 'program' name (which could be more than a package); but the 'package' names often written in small later only, look for 'kde', 'gnome' or 'wine' in Synaptic: they all written in small letters *only*.

I understand but the link now uses apt-url rather than the user typing in a command, so the program name would seem more appropriate in this instance. The user needn't look in Synaptic in this instance.

Well. Regardless we asked the user to search or not, the package name is written in small letters. Check out other package names in the same document, they all written in small letters.
