Community Installers

Individual NetBeans committers may provide additional binary packages as a convenience. While built using the Apache NetBeans release, they are not releases of the Apache Software Foundation. They may include other contents (eg. JDK) under additional license terms.

Deployment Platforms

Apache NetBeans 25 supports running on JDK 24, 23, 21 or 17.
