I've been doing some more work on Netbeans and the Netbeans platform. I've split them back into two separate packages, and installed things so that you can have multiple versions of the platform installed at the same time. Most of my trial packages are in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~rockclimb/+archive/netbeans - I've not yet had time to check them to the extent I'd want to in order to update the packages in Debian. If you wanted to help with that then you'd be more than welcome. I've recently got The platform for Netbeans 7.3 building, but there are a couple of dependencies which I only made a very quick packaging attempt at. jnlp-servlet could do with someone to take it on and finish off the packaging for example. It looks like visualvm also needs the Netbeans Profiler suite, which isn't fully building yet, although I've got some way there. Hopefully it'll build OK against Netbeans 7.3, because I'd rather focus on the current version.
