I wanted to move the idea forward and just pushed a new update of
netbeans to Git. Currently there is only one reverse-dependency in
Debian, openstereogram, that requires libnb-absolutelayout-java. I have
simplified netbeans and now it only builds this extra library which
consists of two classes. That will ensure opensterogram can migrate to
testing again. If nobody objects, I can upload the changes.

I intend to update libnb-platform18-java soon, it is basically the same
source package as src:netbeans but it only builds the platform code. For
instance the platform packages are needed for visualvm. I believe
maintaining this package is viable.

Perhaps we should create a new Java wiki page and briefly document how
to install Netbeans and Eclipse with flatpack. I think it's quite
simple, so we don't have to write too much documentation.

Regards,

Markus
