Re: Beta 2 Installers - Re: Apache NetBeans 11.1-beta2 Is Available for Testing!

[Alessandro <al...@gmail.com>]

Dear all,
  I have tested the linux installer on an Ubuntu 18.04 linux distribution.

The executable shell script executed correctly, the installer succesfully
picked an Oracle JDK 8 default jdk (I also have an Oracle JDK 7 installed)
and presented the wizard to ask for installation location and to confirm
the JDK to use for running NetBeans.

Despite being only ca 180 Mb in size the installer correctly indicates that
the final occupied space will be 600 Mb. I wonder how this is achieved,
perhaps pack200 compression? As a comparison the corresponding convenience
binary zip is ca 330 Mb in size.

The installer correctly produces .desktop launcher files and places them
one in the desktop folder and one in the launchers folder (usually
$HOME/.local/share/applications) so that Apache NetBeans can be launched
either double clicking on the desktop icon or via the desktop environment
app launching mechanism. The launcher files specify the correct application
name and point correctly to the new Apache NetBeans logo icon.

If at all possible I would change the produced .desktop file name: it is
currently Apache NetBeans-11.1.desktop , note the space, while it would be
better apache-netbeans-11.1.desktop , all lowercase and no space. Note that
modern desktop environments show the value of the name property contained
in the desktop file not the desktop file name itself.

Wonderful work Reema. Looking forward to having convenience installers for
the final NetBeans 11.1 release.

Regards,
Alex
