Hi,
seems to work good. I tested the deb and exe and both did what they
promised.
On windows I noticed, that the entry in the uninstaller entry in "Apps
& features" contains the version ("Apache NetBeans version 26rc3") and
does not contain the icon, just a generic application icon. The version
string was present a second time as a line below the title, which does
not match the other entries. This is not as nice, as it might be, but
also not a real problem. Deinstallation worked as intended.
Thank you!
Greetings
Matthias
