Although not officially certified on Solaris 11 Release platform, we can definitely use the Solaris Studio as a tarball.

I don’t apply extra patches, only using following packages mentioned here….
Installing Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 (tarfile) on Solaris 11 Express

the launch is all ok, I wrote a small script to invoke the binary, as I dont actually like to add those binaries to $PATH,
for I have GNU compiler sets in the $PATH…

suse@sol64tk:~$ cat /usr/bin/ss
#!/usr/bin/bash

/_MY_PATH_TO_SOLSTD/solstudio12.2/bin/solstudio  --jdkhome=/usr/java/

suse@sol64tk:~$ cat /usr/bin/ss

#!/usr/bin/bash

/_MY_PATH_TO_SOLSTD/solstudio12.2/bin/solstudio --jdkhome=/usr/java/

Some small issues which related to Netbeans (v 6.9)
1. editor on GUI doesnt have good font settings, all saw-toothed by default.
2. add Java to the netbeans cannot be detected by default, for JAVA_HOME not known.

Fix… to change netbeans conf. and restart the IDE.

# vi /_MY_PATH_TO_SOLSTD/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf

#add following option to the end of the default netbeans invoke options line.
netbeans_default_options="...  -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on" 

# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome &lt;dir&gt;:
#If following parameter set, solstudio can detect without --jdkhome showed.
netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/java"

# vi /_MY_PATH_TO_SOLSTD/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf

#add following option to the end of the default netbeans invoke options line.

netbeans_default_options="... -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on"

# Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir>:

#If following parameter set, solstudio can detect without --jdkhome showed.

netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/java"

Today when I’m applying some scripts on Solaris 11Express nodes, a interesting error comeup,

  -bash: whereis: command not found

1	-bash: whereis: command not found

As on Solaris 10, we use cmd whereis(/usr/ucb/whereis) as a standard component.
(On Linux, it’s also a part of the util-linux-ng package )

Solaris 11X doesn’t include this command in default set, so turn to documents for help:

  Changes the Directory to /usr/ucb For a live CD installation, the path /usr/ucb does 
not exist by default. It can be added, along with many of the standard /usr/ucb tools by 
installing the 'compatibility/ucb' package from the repository.
  Note though that support for legacy plotters has been removed and this sees the 
removal of the following files (PSARC/2009/540):
...
...
  Other than these changes all of the commands available in /usr/ucb in Oracle Solaris 10 
continue to be available in Oracle Solaris 11 through the compatibility/ucb package.

Very lucky the command whereis is the rest for kept in compatibility/ucb package as optional.
But it’s no longer suggested to use such cmds in further SOLs, I finally gave up refresh the toolkits.

[Refrence:]
Oracle Solaris 11 ISV Adoption Guide
Solaris 11 Express Changes: Where is /usr/ucb ?
PSARC/2009/540*
*this arc shows the discussion on some port specific /usr/ucb commands,
the abandon of those codes speed up the far and away of those BSD like code.

From this point, SOL’s running faster than Linux….
