A while back, I wrote a NetBeans installation script for MacOS here: https://github.com/carljmosca/netbeans-macos-bundle
There have been a number of contributions and although the script is no longer necessary (for the most part), you can also do this (or something similar): ./install.sh --netbeans-uri https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/NetBeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release120/16/artifact/dist/netbeans/netbeans-12.0-beta5-bin.zip --netbeans-version 12.0-beta5 to install any given version.
