Wrong icon (using macOS only variant)

[neilcsmith-net]

The flatpak package is using the wrong NetBeans icon. The .icns file is intended for macOS, which is more noticeable now that it has been changed to follow macOS design guidelines.

The standard icon that should be used on other OS can be found at https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage/blob/master/src/main/resources/org/apache/netbeans/nbpackage/apache-netbeans.svg and https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/platform/core.startup/src/org/netbeans/core/startup/frame1024.png

I'm open to contributions 😉

[neilcsmith-net]

See apache/netbeans#7755 I don't intend to contribute to downstream packaging that I'm not using so can't test. I am trying to help make this easier for those who do.

Thanks for the heads-up

@neilcsmith-net I can't find any of those files - nor any other high-resolution icons - in the binary release. Is there any intention of introducing them in the future?

[neilcsmith-net]

They will hopefully be in the NB24 zip release but not in NB23. The links in the report work now. The NBPackage SVG is used in the ASF and Codelerity DEB, RPM and AppImage. I guess you could also extract from the DEB rather than zip?

[patriziobruno]

I considered using the deb package, but I'd rather stick to a distro agnostic package, since the runtime I'm using is not Debian based. Since NB24 should include the high res icons in formats different from icns, I'll address this in next release.

[neilcsmith-net]

Up to you, but the ASF deb and rpm are effectively distro agnostic once extracted. The contents of /usr/lib/apache-netbeans are a bit-for-bit copy of the zip file contents.

In both there's a 48x48 png as required by the icon spec, along with the svg, inside /usr/share

Thanks @patriziobruno !
