Ask questions, find answers, and also help other users.\n * [Subscribe](mailto:dev-subscribe@netbeans.apache.org) or [mail](mailto:dev@netbeans.apache.org) the [dev@netbeans.apache.org](mailto:dev@netbeans.apache.org) list - Join development discussions, propose new ideas and connect with contributors.\n\n### Download\n\n * [Developer builds](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-linux/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/) on Jenkins (NetBeans-dev-xxx.zip).\n * [Latest release](https://netbeans.apache.org/download) (convenience binary of released source artifacts).\n\n### Reporting Bugs\n\n * [How to report bugs](https://netbeans.apache.org/participate/report-issue)\n\n### Log, Config and Cache Locations\n\n * start config (JVM settings, default JDK, userdir, cachedir location and more):  \n   `netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf`\n * user settings storage (preferences, installed plugins, logs):  \n   system dependent, see `Help -\u003e About` for concrete location\n * cache files (maven index, search index etc):  \n   system dependent, see `Help -\u003e About` for concrete location\n * default log location (tip: can be inspected via `View -\u003e IDE Log`):  \n   `$DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT/var/log/messages.log`\n\n**Note:** removing/changing the user settings directory will reset NetBeans to first launch defaults\n\n### Other Repositories\n\n * [NetBeans website repos](https://github.com/apache/netbeans-antora?tab=readme-ov-file#basic-structure)\n * [NBPackage](https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage)\n * [NetBeans maven utilities](https://github.com/apache/netbeans-mavenutils-nbm-maven-plugin)\n * [NetBeans maven archetypes](https://github.com/apache/netbeans-mavenutils-archetypes)\n\n### Full History\n\nThe origins of the code in this repository are older than its Apache existence.\nAs such significant part of the history (before the code was donated to Apache)\nis kept in an independent repository. To fully understand the code\nyou may want to merge the modern and ancient versions together:\n\n```bash\n$ git clone https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git\n$ cd netbeans\n$ git log platform/uihandler/arch.xml\n```\n\nThis gives you just few log entries including the initial checkin and\nchange of the file headers to Apache. But then the magic comes:\n\n```bash\n$ git remote add emilian https://github.com/emilianbold/netbeans-releases.git\n$ git fetch emilian # this takes a while, the history is huge!\n$ git replace 6daa72c98 32042637 # the 1st donation\n$ git replace 6035076ee 32042637 # the 2nd donation\n```\n\nWhen you search the log, or use the blame tool, the full history is available:\n\n```bash\n$ git log platform/uihandler/arch.xml\n$ git blame platform/uihandler/arch.xml\n```\n\nMany thanks to Emilian Bold who converted the ancient history to his\n[Git repository](https://github.com/emilianbold/netbeans-releases)\nand made the magic possible!\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Java","IDEs / Text Editors",":paperclip: Other references \u003ca name=\"other-references\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e","HarmonyOS","IDE","Developer Tools","Applications"],"sub_categories":["Follow me","Plugin Development (NetBeans Modules)","Windows Manager","IDEs","💻 IDE (12)","IDE"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapache%2Fnetbeans","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fapache%2Fnetbeans","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapache%2Fnetbeans/lists"}
