Unfortunately Netbeans is one of the more complex Java packages and it
would require some effort to backport it to Jessie. You would also have
to provide a backport for antlr3, libjsch-agent-proxy-java,
libosgi-core-java and libosgi-compendium-java or you have to adjust some
of the patches. I'm not sure if it is worth the effort but everyone is
welcome to work on that.

Regards,

Markus
