We are not sandboxed. It is working as a well managed zip distribution.
I'm using the "netbeans" package (edge channel) for work and
"netbeans-dev" (the weekly updated development build) for developing
NetBeans.

I am no expert on Snap - but my experience so far has been pretty
uniformly bad, especially for development tools. The sandbox is great
for allowing you to have just the basic dependencies you need,
whatever the version, no more, no less, there in the box - until you
need to reference something else that would normally exist as a
package outside the box, then your scr*wed. Even tools like graphics
packages, that in the linux world are more like full blown dev tools,
just break when you go outside the limited use cases the packager
thought of when they built the snap.

Well, technically the runtime requirement of the IDE is to have a JRE.
It shall be enough if you are working on PHP, HTML or C++ projects.
JDK is required for the Java stuff. What I'm planning is to get a Snap
distribution free from Apache and provide specific distribution packages
for php, java(fx), javaee, maybe separate html and c++ all these with
JRE/JDK + JavaFX included... Somewhere along the road...

Hello World, I recently installed Apache Netbeans on several
Ubuntu Linux machines. In each case, the IDE couldn't create
or open projects and would stall at about 10% progress. As a
long-time Netbeans user, this was perplexing - especially
given that I have a working Netbeans on one of them (the
others were fresh installs). From the IDE logs, I finally
figured out that Netbeans didn't think that I had a JDK
installed. In one case it was right. The Ubuntu distro
installs the JRE by default, but not the JDK - and neither the
installer or the IDE itself prompts the user when it can't
find the JDK. It's happy to install from a JRE and silently
fail later. In the other cases, I took the default without
thinking during installation. It's a face-palm moment for me,
but I'm no stranger to "operator error" moments at the end of
the day. To someone who may be trying out the Netbeans IDE and
makes the same mistake, it could make them walk away from
Netbeans to another IDE. A dialog box saying "Where's yer
JDK?" would be useful. I'm really enjoying Netbeans 12, by the
way. So far it hasn't given me any grief and is fast and
stable. Regards, Peter
