For my NetBeans Platform application, I usually maintain my own private branch based on the latest NetBeans release (currently 11.3), and build it myself. That allows me to add my own patches as needed, which I then contribute upstream after testing them in my platform app for some time. (I also use my private build as my working IDE, for testing purposes.)
But you can certainly use the official builds too--11.3 in a few days, as Neil said. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Neil C Smith <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 12:45 PM To: dev <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Latest Version of NetBeans Platform?

Which?! :-) Latest is 11.3. The most stable, in theory, should be the release that goes through NetCAT (community testing). Personally, I would choose 11.3 with a view to possibly moving to 12.0 LTS in May, and maybe joining in the NetCAT testing for the platform that will start in a few weeks.
