If anyone is interested, I have a shell script that finds the most recent 
netbeans from your downloads directory (which is what you get when you click on 
the .zip link on the netbeans site) and builds an app from it and installs it 
as ~/Applications/NetBeans.app.  It uses the local java installation.  No app 
signing required.  No macos binary.  I could put it on homebrew.
