What is OpenBeans made of?

OpenBeans 2019.12 is based on github.com/apache/netbeans release 11.2 branch. Any NetBeans project will open without problems.

On top of that we have:

• Bundled JDK. The macOS/Windows installers include a JDK so you don't need anything else to start coding.
• Native notifications. All the IDE notification will be shown using the macOS/Windows notification system.
• Compact diff window. Which allows you to see a few more lines of text. Perfect on smaller laptop displays.
• Error reporter. You can upload errors directly to the server so they get looked at later.
• Java: Online Maven support. Maven queries will be sent to Maven Central instead of downloading the Maven Central cache which takes GBs of your disk.
• Java: Fixed Profiler on Windows 64bit
• Java: Re-added WildFlyAS support
• Java: Bundled nb-javac. For the best Java support.
• JS: Bundled JS libraries.
• JavaFX: Bundled JavaFX libraries.
• C/C++ support
• Signed installers. So you know you run unaltered bits.

There's also work underway to build all 3rd party plugins from source code.
