What is Apache NetBeans?
Apache NetBeans brings source editing, code completion and project tools into a desktop development environment. Its editors highlight code syntactically and semantically, support refactoring, and provide wizards and templates for Java, PHP and web work. The publisher’s Java quick-start guide shows a Maven project workflow from creating a class to running it and reading the output.
The linked macOS download is Codelerity’s Apache NetBeans 31 package for Apple Silicon (ARM64), with a local Eclipse Temurin JDK 26 to run the IDE. Codelerity also lists a separate Intel package. Additional JDKs for projects can be registered in the IDE; the IDE runtime and a project’s target Java version are separate choices.
Codelerity’s packages are built from the Apache NetBeans binary release by a NetBeans committer, but are not releases of the Apache Software Foundation. The bundled JDK has its own license terms. The package page does not state a minimum macOS version, so this entry does not promise support for a specific macOS release. The screenshot is a historical publisher tutorial image of NetBeans 11.0 on macOS, illustrating code completion rather than the appearance of version 31.
What it offers
- Highlight source code syntactically and semantically and refactor code in the editor.
- Use editors, wizards and templates for Java, PHP, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS.
- Create and run Java Maven projects, with code-completion suggestions and related documentation.
- Run the selected macOS package with its bundled Eclipse Temurin JDK 26; register additional JDKs for projects.
Good to know
- This linked ARM64 PKG is for Apple Silicon Macs; Intel Macs need the separate x86_64 package listed by Codelerity.
- The convenience package is supplied by Codelerity, not released by the Apache Software Foundation, and includes software with additional license terms.
- NetBeans 23 and later no longer support Java String Templates.
