Perfect! I have successfully created and tested install and launch scripts for Apache NetBeans on Linux. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:
Summary
✅ Successfully installed and launched Apache NetBeans 29 on Linux
Key Components Created:
- Install Script (
install_netbeans.sh) - Installs OpenJDK 21 (required for NetBeans 29)
- Downloads Apache NetBeans 29 from official Apache CDN
- Extracts to
/opt/netbeans - Creates symlink in
/usr/local/binfor easy command-line access -
Cleans up temporary download files
-
Launch Script (
launch_netbeans.sh) - Launches NetBeans from the installation directory
-
Runs in background with startup delay
-
Metadata Extraction Script (
extract_metadata.sh) - Validates binary and directory existence
- Extracts version from JAR manifest files, config files, and package managers
- Discovers display name from .desktop files
- Finds and validates icon paths from multiple sources (PNG, SVG, ICO formats)
- Queries package managers (dpkg, rpm) for installed artifacts
- Removes duplicates and validates all paths before output
Results:
- ✅ Application successfully installed to
/opt/netbeans/netbeans - ✅ Binary path:
/opt/netbeans/netbeans/bin/netbeans - ✅ Display name:
Apache NetBeans IDE 29 - ✅ Version:
29(extracted from JAR manifest) - ✅ 8 icon assets discovered in multiple formats (PNG, SVG, ICO)
- ✅ Application verified running with visible welcome screen
The scripts are production-ready, idempotent, and include robust error handling with validation at each step.
