[FEATURE] Add Support of Apache NetBeans IDE
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I've used Apache NetBeans IDE for many years. Recently I started using Claude Code in a terminal.
But Claude Code does not support any integration with it.
Apache NetBeans is not mentioned at the https://code.claude.com/docs/en/platforms page at all.
Proposed Solution
I asked Claude Code to write a NetBeans plugin, and it has done it: https://github.com/nbclaudecodegui/NetbeansClaudeCodeGui
This plugin gives similar capabilities as one for JetBrains platform: Diff viewer, selection sharing, terminal session and a little bit more. A user manual is available at https://github.com/nbclaudecodegui/NetbeansClaudeCodeGui/blob/main/docs/user-manual.md
I propose to add the link to this plugin to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/platforms and to add a separate page Apache Netbeans similar to https://code.claude.com/docs/en/jetbrains
Alternative Solutions
Another plugin https://github.com/emilianbold/claude-code-netbeans gives a part of features https://github.com/nbclaudecodegui/NetbeansClaudeCodeGui : MCP tools only without running Claude Code inside IDE, File Diff and so on.
Priority

Use Case Example
Example scenario:
- I'm working with a complex project in NetBeans
- I need to ask Claude Code to help me with refactoring
- I run Claude Code session for my project inside NetBeans, chat with it, create a plan, view it with MarkDown Preview (provided by this plugin) and discuss it with Claude Code.
- I ask Claude Code to implement this plan. I can view all file changes in the NetBeans diff viewer, accept them or ask Claude Code to change something.
