Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-5109:
----------------------------------------
[~matthiasblaesing] the update centre part we can do, the NBM part is what I'm
asking if we can connect to this? It's fairly simple, and we probably have
something already that will do it anyway. I remain of the view that only
dealing with part of the policy or technical repercussions from the switch to
delivering via OSUOSL is far from ideal. We should try and stop this being a
release headache in one form or another. Something I guess we can now only
discuss in the 12.4 timeframe, although possibly from my perspective still with
a view to providing for 12.3 users.
> Remove distribution of nbjavac from apache controlled infrastructure

> Key: NETBEANS-5109
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5109
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 12.3
> Reporter: Matthias Bläsing
> Assignee: Matthias Bläsing
> Priority: Blocker
>
> The ASF has a pretty clear opinion about the handling of the GPLv2-CPE. There
> might be an option to distribute it, but not out of the box. After the
> transition of NetBeans from oracle to the ASF there was a timeframe were use
> of the Oregon State University was ok, as the transition was happening. I
> think we stretched that limit to the max and thus I consider this a blocker
> for the next release. The nbjavac needs to be moved of ASF controlled
> infrastructure.
> There are various options:
> - Oracle could publish nbjavac to maven central
> - Oracle could provide a custom updatecenter distributing the nbjavac
> - Oracle could relicense javac
> - Apache NetBeans could switch to the eclipse java development tools
> Not all of these options are realistic, but publishing to maven central is
> perfectly doable.
> I'll mark this as a blocker for next release, so it is not ignored.
