Issue installing Netbeans

I installed jdk and jre packages, and now i want to install netbeans.

I do pacman -S netbeans, but pacman says netbeans needs java-gcj-compat, which conflicts with jre - so, he suggests me to uninstall jre, but i dont want to do so.
In fact, in another machine i have jre and netbeans together working without any problem.....
How can i install netbeans ithout having to install this java-gcj-compat and replace jre?

Thanks!!

Re: Issue installing Netbeans

As far as i can see the only dependency is "java-enviroment" wich should be satisfied with jdk and jre...

So if you are positively that you have "jdk" and "jre". And you are sure that no "java-gcj-compat" is installed (it conflicts).
Then: install it with "pacman --sync --nodeps netbeans" and dependency check is skipped

If this behaviour is a bug you should report it

Sorry... looks like i did somehing wrong...
If you have jre but you do not have jdk installed, is when this issue i say appears when attempting to install it.
I installed jre and jdk, and after them, netbeans installed without any problem.

Thanks!!
