Subject: Netbeans IDE package for Fedora
Hi,
Is there a specific reason that Netbeans IDE is not available in
Fedora repository?
A really simple one - there is noone wanting to spend time on it. Back in the days we
shared a lot of work with netbeans maintainers to keep the Java stack working. Maintaining
an IDE is time consuming as they have bigger dependencies on underlying infrastructure to
make it easier for developers. So when one chooses to do that he/she has to care about the
whole stack not just about it's package.
