We use (in our company) netbeans from a long time, now release 12.2 with for both Java (from 1.8.0.144 to 15.0.2) and C with JNI and the 8.2 plugin still works perfectly.

We hope it's still supported for a long time. Netbeans is unbeatable and we use it as our main development tool in our company.

We also use IntelliJ (Android Studio) for the development of mobile components but for the core business we use Netbeans.

We also tried Eclipse but honestly it didn't convince us. "The easy made difficult through the useless"

The development tool is very important in a company. it's like a precision machine for a manufacturing company. It can make a difference.

This of course is just my view,

I do agree with Tristan. I am still using the old 8.2 plugin, mainly because I 
am used to it over almost a decade. But I also have the impression, 
increasingly it has become notable that development on that part has stopped 
long ago.
So for someone looking to start with a C/C++ IDE in these days, sadly I would 
not recommend Netbeans.

You might have more luck with the 8.2 CND plugin

Go Tools->Plugins then select the settings tab. Tick Netbeans
8.2 plugin portal. Then search for C/C++ in available plugins.

I use the c++ integration daily for my work, it is rather full
featured (the lightweight support on the other hand is not).

Subject: C/C++ is NetBeans really worth using?

A book suggested using NetBeans installed on a PC for
development of C/C++ software for a Raspberry PI which would be
the remote build server.
The book is fairly old but since I want to develop C/C++
programs for both Windows and for Raspberry PI OS Buster I
thought I would give it a go.

I installed Java JDK 15.0.2 64bit and then Apache NetBeans 12.2
64bit on a Windows 10 PC.
The installations seem fine.

When I start NetBeans on the PC I get a "Learn and Discover"
page with an option to "Try a sample project".
A simple, lightweight C/C++ project. Allows to configure
commands for build and run, and configuration for the ccls
server, which is used to provide editing support".

However it is not clear how to use the simple project and I
have been unable to find any C/C++ tutorials.
Also when I look in Tools>Plugins>Installed I can see that
C/C++ is installed and active but it says;
     Version: 1.1
     Source: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.2

     Plugin Description
     CPPLite Kit
     A temporary lightweight C/C++ support. The editing features
require ccls to be installed.

     Module installed:
     CPPLite Kit

The "temporary lightweight" is not very encouraging.

My questions are;
1. Where can I get more documentation on how to use NetBeans
with C/C++
2. How can I tell if ccls is installed
3. How do I run the example "simple C/C++" project
4. Am I perhaps wasting my time using NetBeans for C/C++
