Description
### Description
**NetBeans 19** delivered as a [snap](https://snapcraft.io/netbeans) 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](https://snapcraft.io/docs/configuration-in-snaps), 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.
