Hi Joachim,

The startup script is part of the upstream Netbeans tarball, and is
installed as part of the debian/rules script. If you want to patch it
then you'll need to update debian/patches/netbeans~ide-launcher.patch
with the necessary changes. This would then get applied as part of the
build process, resulting in a patched launcher script in /usr/bin/netbeans.

Thanks,
Andy
