Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-2806:
----------------------------------------
Agree with that in principle, although I never install globally personally.
Switching fix version to 11.2 - not something I think we can change at this
stage of the release cycle.
> Consider using `/opt/` path by default for installer

> Key: NETBEANS-2806
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2806
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 11.1
> Reporter: Ulf Zibis
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 11.1
>
>
> The recent installer uses `/usr/local/` by default, when installing under
> root.
> In my understanding, this path is reserved for software which overrides
> existing versions from the official distribution.
> Wouldn't it not be better to use the `/opt/` path by default. Then the user
> could override it with e.g. nightly versions by help of the `/usr/local/`
> mechanics.
> Please also remember:
