GitHub user JeremyCavanagh added a comment to the discussion: How to find/install NetBeans 8.1???
Why are you wasting your time, the last JavaME was released is 2014. What is it that you are trying to do that you think needs JavaME. Furthermore, I may not be correct but I think support for Java 8 has also been dropped. You would be better served by keeping both NetBeans and Java at their latest releases. I don’t suppose that’s any help but you need to understand why you want to use old technology. > On 8 Jul 2026, at 19:48, Soniflare ***@***.***> wrote: > > > I'm trying to find, download, and install version 8.1 of NetBeans, but not > only is there no longer an official download, but the only files I found > online was the files that would normally sit in /usr/lib/netbeans.
