### Apache NetBeans version Apache NetBeans 13 ### What happened 1. I have been unable to build any Maven NetBeans Application project, including both an empty project created from File/New Project... or any project I've tried compiling from downloaded samples, projects on GitHub, etc. 2. No previous version of the NetBeans IDE I've tried seems to be able to compile a NetBeans application either. I've seen references to building NetBeans Applications with IDE version 8.2. However, the link to the NetBeans IDE version 8.2 is broken on the download page, so I've been unable to test it. 3. I've found few, if any, online discussions pertaining to the NetBeans Platform. 4. The documentation and tutorials for the NetBeans Platform on the Apache NetBeans web site are out of date and filled with broken links. For instance, all 10 tutorial videos on https://netbeans.apache.org/tutorials/nbm-10-top-apis.html (Top 10 NetBeans APIs) seem to be broken links and internet searches turn up nothing. 5. It appears therefore that the NetBeans Platform is no longer supported, at least for projects outside of the NetBeans IDE itself. Yet, the menu items and web pages are still present. I have spent quite a lot of time exploring this issue. I strongly suggest that, if it is the case, the NetBeans team announce that support for the NetBeans Platform has been terminated, and the seeming functionality be removed from the NetBeans IDE so that other developers do not lose time attempting to use it. 6. Instead, I suggest that the NetBeans team restore the link to IDE version 8.2, and the documentation such as it existed for the most recent version of the IDE that still supported the NetBeans Platform, so that anyone who chooses to use the NetBeans Platform with an older IDE and JDK has a way of doing so. ### How to reproduce File/New Project... Categories: Java with Maven Projects: NetBeans Application Click Next > (Accept defaults) Click Next > (Accept defaults ... RELEASE90 ...) Click Finish The project build fails with [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs: Child module /Users/***/mavenproject1/branding of /Users/***/mavenproject1/pom.xml does not exist @ Child module /Users/***/mavenproject1/application of /Users/***/mavenproject1/pom.xml does not exist @ @ The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1] ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version? No ### Operating System MacOS Monterry 12.3 ### JDK I have tried JDK 8, 11, and 17. ### Apache NetBeans packaging Apache NetBeans provided installer ### Anything else With other combinations of the IDE, JDK, etc., I get different errors. For instance, Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.1.2:generate (default-cli) on project XXX: Unable to add module to the current project as it is not of packaging type 'pom' -> [Help 1] Note: XXX is not the name of the project, which is actually mavenproject1-parent. ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
