Sad watching the decline of NetBeans. It used to be a really solid IDE. Hopefully things will pick up with it under Apache, but I doubt it. I've long since moved to JetBrains products and haven't looked back.

I love Netbeans. It is such a great IDE.

The fact people still use Java is a mystery.

Sadly, it's required for school.

The fact people still use Java is a mystery.

Why mystery? What else would people use for enterprise development, both technically and HR-wise? Kotlin gains some traction but still nowhere near.
We use Scala/Rust, a great combination that gives a lot of productivity and reliability, but requires top-level engineers which are very difficult to find.

P.S. I personally think the mystery is actually how sane people can use nodejs, php and similar shit for large projects.

Sadly, it's required for school.

It's taught in schools because it is not only a language but a whole framework with a gui toolkit, networking capabilities, and multiple image format support. It's much easier than teaching students a language + a gui toolkit + how to use many eternal libraries out there.
No other language that I know of besides C# ( plus dotnet framework) does so.

Java makes perfect sense in this case.

Or, someday, non-GC'd languages will be looked upon as assembly-era languages.
