For Mac OS Users: You can fix this by creating AppleScript with the following code:
do shell script "/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\\ 8.0.1.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans" with administrator privileges
(if necessary, adjust the path to installing NetBeans) and export it as an application. When you start it, the system will request administrator rights before starting NetBeans, the updater works as expected, and NetBeans stops restarting all the time ...
