Can't find Netbeans after installation

L

Lasse

I have installed Netbeans 6.8 from the ports collection but I cannot find it in the applications/development menu. Where is it? And how do I start it?
I am using FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 with KDE 4.

According to this output everything in the installation went well:

Code:

Ports don't magically show up in some window manager's Applications menu, because ports have no knowledge of them. You'll have to make your window manager (or its menu application) search for new applications to add.

Some ports are made to interact with desktop manager after done installing app.
 
Isn't it the other way around? Some application menu managers routinely scan the directories where apps usually live? I can understand why KDE/Gnome-specific ports would try to interact with their 'masters', but not other ports.

Well to be more exact its the automake script that comes from author of the app that interacts with desktop managers not port script itself. Ive seen quite a few GUI applications that did try to detect gnome or kde presence.
