No, you have cursed me.
No sooner had I read the word "cygwin" than I pressed a button that looked like
a terminal window and got the message
"Local Terminal requires cygwinPlease install cygwin and restart the IDE"
I had installed msys64, the Tool Collection is MinGW and all the Build Tools
are in:C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\
apart from Make which is:
C:\msys64\usr\bin\make.exe
Can anybody advise:
- Do I need Local Terminal
- What is it usually used for
- Is there anyway that I can enable it without installing cygwin
I have now managed to use NetBeans on Windows 10 to build and run a sample C
program which prints its Command Line arguments, so things are starting to look
promising. So far the only thing I have found not to work is the Local Terminal
but it is a loose end that is grating on me, I suppose all programmers have a
touch of COD :-)

For the sake of completeness, I would like to reiterate what I wrote off-list
last week but meant to share with the whole list: I've had problems setting up
C/C++ for NetBeans three times, but each time I've found Cygwin and GCC to be
the right combination. I have not done anything in C++ much more advanced than
Hello World. I have also used NetBeans for basic Fortran programs (that's done
through C/C++, there might be a historical irony in there somewhere).
But mostly I use NetBeans for Java. I don't use NetBeans for JavaScript or PHP,
but the support for those does seem to be well fleshed out.
And I should also mention that I'm still using Java 8, even though I'm aware
that JUnit and other important third-party Java tools have upgraded.

Run NetBeans itself on a JDK earlier than JDK 14.

From replies it seems like NetBeans is not really being developed for C/C++
however users really seem to like NetBeans and don't seem to have any issues
using it for C/C++.
For that reason I decided to persevere and try to load the 8.2 plugin -but I
have problems and need some help.
Before doing that I disabled the existing lite C/C++ plugin which was active,
the option to uninstall was grayed out.
I then enabled the Netbeans 8.2 portal and was able to find this plugin:
Version: 1.30.6.1
Date: 19/05/2017
Source: NetBeans 8.2 Plugin Portal
Homepage: http://www.netbeans.org/
Plugin Description
C/C++ support, including editing, projects, GDB debugger and make. There is a
basic support for Fortran and Assembler (x86/64, SPARC)
I tried to install the plugin but I got an error message saying that the files
could not be validated because unpack200.exe was missing. I could not find it
on my PC so I search for and downloaded it into:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.2\bin
This allowed the plugins to be downloaded and validated and I got to a message
warning that a lot of them were self signed.I selected "continue" .Installation
and unpacking then continued to 99% ( of COURSE it went to 99%)Then just when I
thought it would complete I got the message:
Installation completed unsuccessfully
Click Finish to quit the NetBeans IDE installer and try to restart IDE.
The Plugin Installer found problem timeout of loading C/C++ Remote Development
API[org.netbeans.modules.cnd.api.remote/1.29.5.1] while install the following
plugins: C/C++
I thought it strange that the error was a "timeout" since I thought all the
files were downloaded. However I tried the process a further three times and I
always got the same 99% complete then a long delay and then the timeout error.
Help - any ideas how to fix this?

We use (in our company) netbeans from a long time, now release 12.2 with
for both Java (from 1.8.0.144 to 15.0.2) and C with JNI and the 8.2
plugin still works perfectly.
We hope it's still supported for a long time. Netbeans is unbeatable and
we use it as our main development tool in our company.
We also use IntelliJ (Android Studio) for the development of mobile
components but for the core business we use Netbeans.
We also tried Eclipse but honestly it didn't convince us. "The easy made
difficult through the useless"
The development tool is very important in a company. it's like a
precision machine for a manufacturing company. It can make a difference.
This of course is just my view,
