Hi, I have NetBeans IDE 26 installed from Apache-NetBeans-26-aarch64.pkg and it is working well for month now.
Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 26 Java: 24.0.1; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 24.0.1+9 Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 24.0.1+9 System: Mac OS X version 15.5 running on aarch64; UTF-8; en_GB (nb) It was installed where I would expect to find it: [cid:image001.png@01DBE689.662A5540] I did notice that I’ve got : OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu23.30+13-CA (build 23.0.1+11) installed and on my path java --version openjdk 23.0.1 2024-10-15 OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu23.30+13-CA (build 23.0.1+11) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu23.30+13-CA (build 23.0.1+11, mixed mode, sharing) Regards David From: Neil C Smith <neilcsm...@apache.org> Date: Thursday, 26 June 2025 at 10:05 To: pwas...@icloud.com <pwas...@icloud.com> Cc: users@netbeans.apache.org <users@netbeans.apache.org> Subject: Re: macOS installer doesn't seem to work Hi, On Wed, 25 Jun 2025 at 20:57, Philip Wasson <pwas...@icloud.com.invalid> wrote: > I’m trying to get back into development and figured I’d start with an > up-to-date environment.

Since NetBeans 19 the installer has done in-place upgrading. Up until the latest release, the community installer used a different bundle ID to the ASF installer, but from NetBeans 26 it uses the same bundle ID that the older ASF installer used. So it should end up overwriting the previously installed version. The macOS installer uses the bundle ID to track if you've moved or renamed the application, but rather annoyingly doesn't report where it installed to in that case. At least, not in the way it's currently used in NBPackage - input welcomed if there is a way we can usefully output that information.
