Apache NetBeans 11.2 is the second Apache NetBeans release outside the Apache Incubator and the link:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Release+Schedule[second release of the new quarterly release cycle].

TIP: The LTS release of the Apache NetBeans 11 cycle is Apache NetBeans 11.0. The 11.1 and 11.2 releases have not been tested as heavily as the LTS release and may therefore be less stable.

- WildFly integration is supported by means of the link:http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/76472/wildfly-application-server[WildFly Application Server] plugin located in the Plugin Portal.
