Add functionality to configure NetBeans snap

[boris-github]

Description

NetBeans 19 delivered as a snap has no way to be configured. For example, to set the minimum Java heap size requires a modification of the configuration file:

/snap/netbeans/current/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf

When opening the file, we see that it is unwritable:

If trying to configure it as a snap, we see that there are no configuration options:

$ sudo snap get netbeans
error: snap "netbeans" has no configuration

Please add functionality to configure the NetBeans snap.

You can copy the configuration file to <userdir>/etc/netbeans.conf and edit it there.

Which is not to say improvements in configuration options (across all packaging) aren't a good idea.

That would look like:

mkdir $HOME/snap/netbeans/current/etc
cp /snap/netbeans/current/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf $HOME/snap/netbeans/current/etc/netbeans.conf

From that point you can edit $HOME/snap/netbeans/current/etc/netbeans.conf
