Ulf Zibis commented on NETBEANS-2807:
-------------------------------------
I don't worry about this, because the NB installer does not more than unpacking
a big zip into one sole folder and add a menu entry. I assume there is more
such risk with applications which are deeply enlaced with system libraries and
settings.
And if, I would have more fear that it could damage things in my /home folder
where my personal data is, which can't be recovered from elsewhere.
Additionally installed as root the application is protected from infiltration
by potential malware. This I guess is the main reason, why it is recommended to
install applications as admin.
For the plugins see my preference in
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211531
Moreover, then you still can install plugins under user rights and if you want
to test a beta version it overrides the release version in the root
installation.
