Alexandre Lahure commented on NETBEANS-181:
-------------------------------------------

This issue is 4 years old, WSL2 is now a thing but NetBeans on WSL still isn't 
working. I just tried to create a project under NetBeans 12 with sources 
located on the {{\\wsl$\Ubuntu}} network share without success (NetBeans 
hangs). I tried to create a project from a remote server but only FTP/STFP are 
listed.

Don't tell me about cygwin/X server/VM dirty hacks, it is not an option : like 
Roger Murtaugh, _I'm too old for this shit !_
Don't tell me about using Linux, because I do it at home, but my company IT has 
a few good reasons to force me to work under Windows and I'm OK with it (won't 
elaborate, it isn't the point).

Looking at Visual Studio Code, it has a nice *Remote WSL* feature (of course 
it's baked by Microsoft!) so you can edit files seamlessly in the linux 
subsystem and in the Windows one. Unfortunately VSCode is really bad at PHP and 
Java editing whereas NetBeans is really strong at it (and my personal 
preference!).

So I'll be glad if there is some enhancement on this subject (y)

> Yeah Ubuntu on Windows is, I think still in beta but I use it for my daily 
> work. At home and at work. It is really handy to setup enviroment stuff 
> easily. So for this, NetBeans should be aware of installed stuff inside the 
> ubuntu on windows. The path is "C:\Users\Chrizzly\AppData\Local\lxss (hidden 
> folder)". So if NetBeans are aware of a cygwin installation, it should be 
> treated like that too.
> And for everything else like I installed node, c/c++ stuff, php and so on.
> Would be great enhancement. I created such ticket for Terminal integration 
> too, because of the Cygwin thing:
