Description

After downloading the build #63 of https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-release/ I realized that it contains bits that don't belong to the NetBeans Platform.

$ find netbeans/bin/ netbeans/etc/
netbeans/bin/
netbeans/bin/netbeans
netbeans/bin/netbeans64.exe
netbeans/bin/netbeans.exe
netbeans/etc/
netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf
netbeans/etc/netbeans.import
netbeans/etc/netbeans.clusters

not only that these launchers are IDE specific. They don't even work. Invoking /netbeans/bin/netbeans yields an exception.

Please remove these extra bits.
