As of netbeans Debian package. It kind of hurts the brand mostly by
being unmaintained. The current version can be installed, but it
installs with Java 11 which we did not support at version 10. (Not
mentioning that version 10 is unsupported), so the package installs, but
you cannot do any real Java work with it as it does not able to parse
the Java sources. With all the uncontrolled externalized library
dependencies it is just a Pandora's Box.
the last time I heared about a package, that tried to get Debian/Ubuntu
in line with its own thoughts about how releases should be handled, it
was Firefox. Mozilla tried to pull trademark and Debian reacted by
forking Firefox to Iceweasel. Who suffered more at the end is
debatable.
So if you want to get netbeans out of debian, that is a good way. I'm
not so worried about the IDE, that is indeed better installed from us,
but the netbeans platform is a library and if you force debian to drop
netbeans, they will have to drop the platform too. So be careful about
the daemons you invoke.
Well, let's give the courtesy to the maintainer to respond Geertjan's
email.
I'm on Ubuntu (not Debian), checked what is available for the platform.
They have the 8.1 platform as library there. Other than that, it is the
10.0 harness.
