Netbeans 17 Flatpack (on Linux Mint LMDE) and Netbeans17 RELEASE

[Tim de Vries <te...@gmail.com>]

RE: This topic and Release of Netbeans 17


So is flatpack basically a POJProject with possibly a jar and properties 
dirs, possibly multiple package dirs containing ...? Both source and 
binaries? That's what mine's got. How am I to understand the code 
injection point for the Netbeans package? Is it even in Java, or is it a 
hodge-podge mixture of everything?


Are the file system denotations consistent for the JRE/JDK for the 
platform version and Netbeans version? Can anyone answer this, or is it 
more trial and error?

I guess it could telemetry, IF IT WAS TRYING TO HELP ME.
