Here we will do the installation of NetBeans IDE on Fedora 39/38/37/36/35/34. NetBeans is a very powerful Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tool mostly used for Java and C/C++ Development.
It allows you easily develop Web, Desktop and Mobile Applications from its modular framework. You can add support for other Programming Languages such as PHP, HTML, JavaScript, C, C++, Ajax, JSP, Ruby on Rails e.t.c using extensions.

I have a problem with procedure in the step 3:
My fedora version is the 36
francis@fedora tmp]$ sudo ./Apache-NetBeans-13-bin-linux-x64.sh
Configuring the installer…
Searching for JVM on the system…
Extracting installation data…
Running the installer wizard…
Can`t initialize UI
Running in headless mode
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set,
but this program performed an operation which requires it.
Exception: java.awt.HeadlessException thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread “main”
i tried to execute with the DISPLAY variable, but i have the same result
[francis@fedora tmp]$ DISPLAY=:0.0; sudo ./Apache-NetBeans-13-bin-linux-x64.sh
[sudo] Mot de passe de francis :

I just confirmed it requires Java 17. Try updated guide steps which includes installation of Java 17.
Java 17 is the default on Fedora 36.
$ java –version

It seems you’re performing the installation on a machine without GUI, right?
