I don’t understand why you want to install the ‘Java Web and Java EE’ support in Apache NetBeans 11. Please don’t do that. That support is automatically built into Apache NetBeans 11 for the first time.
Yes, no docs yet specific to this release. Once they’re there would indeed be great for you to provide feedback on them.
