Still can't post from ce...@kolabnow.com  
so I'll repeat from this address:


I don't know if there are any plans for that, but I don't see it as
necessary. NetBeans has its own update center and will notify you when
updates are available.


OK, Thank you Glenn.

8.1 is an old version, released 2015-11-04. The most recent version is
8.2, released by Oracle on 2016-10-03. However, since then, NetBeans has
become an incubating Apache project:

http://netbeans.apache.org/

We are very close to releasing 9.0 (the IPMC release vote for RC1 is in
progress). It's been tested on JDK8 and JDK10. Here is the feature list:

http://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb90/

I recommend trying the current build rather than the beta, since many
bugs were fixed during testing. You can find it here:

https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/

Just download the zip file and extract it to a convenient location, then
run netbeans/bin/netbeans.

Note that we are still awaiting the second code donation from Oracle, so
you will have to install the JavaEE modules from the update center if
you need them. They will appear as part of the install in a subsequent
release.


Thank you very much Glenn, this was all I needed to know to come back on 
track.

Thanks again,

netbeans crashing on testing/sid

[rudu]

Hello,

I've been googling for a few days now to find a solution to this.
I can't get netbeans to start, I see the splash screen displaying 
messages as "initialysing, loading modules, loading services" and then 
it disappears, leaving no clue in a terminal.

My best bet was there :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=894715
and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891957

But it seems I must be missing something else ...

~$ dpkg -l libequinox* netbeans | grep ^ii
ii  libequinox-osgi-java 3.8.1-10 all  Equinox OSGi framework
ii  netbeans 8.1+dfsg3-2  all  Extensible Java IDE

~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_172"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

This is oracle-java8-jdk-amd64 but I tried with java-8-openjdk-amd64 too.

Any piece of advice would be welcomed.
