Thank you for your interest in the NetBeans DVD. We are no longer taking requests for the NetBeans DVDs . Please read the rest of this document for information on alternative ways to get NetBeans software.
The NetBeans project now offers the NetBeans DVD Starter Kit as a free ISO image. Download the Starter Kit ISO image here.
For more information and download links, visit http://edu.netbeans.org/dvd/
If your main problem stems from an unreliable network connection with interruptions, download the NetBeans IDE + JDK bundle using the Sun Download Manager. The SDM allows you to pause, resume, restart, and verify the downloaded file. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/netbeans.html
You can order the NetBeans DVD Starter Kit from the Sun Store.
If you cannot download the full NetBeans release, visit our download page for small installation bundles as lightweight as 23MB.
Additional functionality can be included later using the Update Center under Tools > Plugins. If you cannot use the Update Center in the IDE to install updates and plugins, you can download modules and install them manually.
