Netbeans is one of the open-source Java Integrated development environment(IDE) made by Sun Microsystem.
If you remember that most of the software programs of Sun's Microsystem are now a subsidiary of Oracle. According to Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols from ZDNet that Oracle is no longer makes Java a priority.
Java creator James Gosling has said,
"It's not so much that Oracle is backing off on EE, but that it's backing off on cooperating with the Java community. Taking it 'proprietary', going for the 'roach motel' model of non-standard standards -- 'customers check in, but they don't check out.'"
In 2016, Oracle donated the Netbeans source code to the Apache Software Foundation and become a top-level Apache project.
Apache Netbeans address the needs of developers, users, and businesses who still using Netbeans as IDE to create their products. Supports multiple languages like Java, PHP, JavaFX, JavaScript and soon it will be incorporated with C/C++.
The Netbeans is very helpful to me when I started learning the basics in Java with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). While learning and programming, I notice that Netbeans is very poor in terms of compiling, debugging, and running the program you created. You need more RAM capacity when compiling your Java program within Netbeans IDE and it sucks. That's the reason why I decided to learned other Java IDE.
