I just installed Netbeans 11.2 on Debian with a Flatpak from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.apache.netbeans While the process took a little long to finish, the end result was a perfectly working version of NetBeans 11.2 that found my Netbeans projects automatically. This is a quick and easy way to get an up-to-date Netbeans on most Linux distros, even something as old as Debian Stable, which I am using. That said, I would still like to see Netbeans packaged for Debian. Hopefully we can get it in the next stable release -- and also hopefully Ubuntu will update its version. The Fedora power-user world is MAD about Fedora Silverblue ( https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/) and using Flatpaks for applications, and if it works as well as it does in Debian, so much the better. Thanks to whoever put this Flatpak together (it is credited to Flathub maintainers). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
