I presume that was another version, probably downloaded from upstream directly. It is true that we never supported Maven out-of-the-box because it is not part of the Base IDE. I would like to see this changed but I wasn't successful in building the Maven module from source. The Debian version of Netbean's is fully integrated into your system and only uses system libraries. This would require that Netbeans also depends on our Maven package. This is non-trivial to achieve. My current workaround is to install the Maven plugin from upstream which is basically a bundled version of Maven. That's not a perfect solution but you can still use Netbeans from Debian and then add missing functionality via plugins as needed. Please note that we have no control over those plugins though and can't support them. Regards, Markus
