Netbeans 8.0.2 Download - Archive

Ensure the IDE points to JDK 8:

Apache provides checksums in the same directory:

Always verify your download, especially when handling older software from archives. Example (Linux/macOS): netbeans 8.0.2 download archive

sha256sum netbeans-8.0.2-javaee-linux.sh
# Compare with the value in the .sha256 file

NetBeans 8.0.2 will try to contact update centers that no longer exist or now host Apache plugins. This causes slow startup and error dialogs.

Since the project moved to Apache, all historical releases (including 8.0.2) have been preserved. The safest way to perform a netbeans 8.0.2 download archive retrieval is via the official Apache archive. Ensure the IDE points to JDK 8: Apache

Step-by-step instructions:

Select the correct bundle: The "Java EE" bundle includes everything from the Java SE bundle plus support for GlassFish and Tomcat. Unless you are on a severely limited hard drive, choose the Java EE version.

Verify the checksum: Next to each file, you will find .sha256 and .md5 files. Use these to verify your download integrity. For example, on Linux/macOS, run shasum -a 256 netbeans-8.0.2-javaee-windows.exe and compare.

The safest and most reliable source is the Apache NetBeasures archive (which superseded Oracle’s old download locations). Always verify your download, especially when handling older
