Hello,

I can share the CoolBeans installers but they are no big deal, not
sure if they are good enough for NetBeans...

My macOS DMG uses a variation of the Carl J. Mosca script does
(Carl's script has a bug as it assumes the location never changes; I
would make a PR if I wouldn't have changed so much stuff).

My Windows installer uses InnoSetup and has again a very basic script,
based on what Stephen Cumminger shared on the mailing list a while
back. It's very basic, but gets the job done of copying the files,
creating shortcuts and providing an uninstaller.

I believe these are actually enough for end users, but NetBeans always
had a much more fancy installer, with Glassfish and many other things.
Especially for macOS I always wanted a clean drag-and-drop DMG, no
package with a wizard.

I think it's important that both the DMG and the EXE are digitally signed.
Windows particularly has very scary warning messages for unsigned EXEs.
