Release Notes:

Community Installers

  • Codelerity / Gj IT packages - Windows, macOS and Linux (.deb / .rpm / .AppImage) built with NBPackage. Most include a local JDK runtime for the IDE to run on, for a self-contained out-of-the-box experience.

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

The Apache NetBeans 16 binary releases require JDK 11+, and officially support running on JDK 11 and JDK 17.

The Runtime JDK NetBeans uses does not influence the JDK range projects can use.

Known Issues

Building from Source

To build Apache NetBeans 16 from source you need:

Once you have everything installed then:

  1. Unzip netbeans-16-source.zip in a directory of your liking.

  1. cd to that directory, and then run ant to build the Apache NetBeans IDE. Once built you can run the IDE by typing ./nbbuild/netbeans/bin/netbeans
