Bug#673606: +1

I've got an initial attempt at a Netbeans 7.2 package in my Ubuntu PPA
at [1] however there are a few things not working right now.

I've separated the Netbeans Platform back into its own package, and
added versions to the package names, because it can be desirable to have
more than one version of the platform installed simultaneously.

Sadly, for a reliable install then probably the best thing would be to
write a netbeans-installer-nonfree package which grabs the binaries from
the Netbeans download site, and lays them out appropriately on the
filesystem. I'd guess it shouldn't be too hard to write. This would need
to go into contrib though, rather than main, and isn't something I'm
that interested in working on.

I'll try and take a look at the dependency tree for Netbeans 7.3 and see
what libraries need packaging - perhaps if people want to help then they
could start with those? For Netbeans 7.2 then most of the libraries in
my PPA [1] are probably needed, and I've only done very rough packages
for them.
