The flatpak packages seem huge in size (at least that's what is shown in
the Gnome Software application). Also, for one, Flatpak version of Eclipse
does not support built-in support.

We (Eclipse maintainers in Fedora) are looking into using Flatpak instead (
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.eclipse.Java). There seems to be
Netbeans flatpak (
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.apache.netbeans).
I admit there are still issues we face both in Eclipse code and in
flatpak(portals) like
https://github.com/flathub/org.eclipse.Java/issues/3
but overall this has better ROI so consider trying it.
P.S. This is not trying to discourage you from packaging Netbeans as RPM
but rather a general warning that unless upstream developers are convinced
this is important delivery channel it's really touch to achieve it.
