----------------------------------------
Summary: Release a flatpak package
Key: NETBEANS-1441
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1441
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 9.0
Reporter: Patrizio Bruno
Flatpak [1] is a new package format that handles in a distro-agnostic way
dependencies, updates and sandboxing. It is available in (almost) all distros,
allowing a developer to create their own release channel (including updates)
without the procedural requirements of getting into a particular distro.
(Although that is still a great goal.)
Would you consider releasing Apache Netbeans via Flatpak?

I took the liberty to create manifest and metadata files for a flatpak:

I also submitted a pull-request to Flathub to get the package published:

The package is based on the official ZIP release for Netbeans 9.0
