Installers and Packages
-
Friends of Apache NetBeans - Windows, macOS and Linux (.deb / .rpm) built with NBPackage. All include a local JDK runtime for the IDE to run on, for a self-contained out-of-the-box experience.
| These installers and packages are provided by various NetBeans committers 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 27 supports running on JDK 25, 24, 21 or 17.
| The Runtime JDK NetBeans uses does not influence the JDK range projects can use. |
| Use the latest JDK update release for the best experience (see Java Version Almanac). |
