Hi all, We're coming very close IMHO to the final release of Apache NetBeans 9.0, i.e., the Java SE IDE (without the 2nd donation code, which is now very close to being here but we shouldn't wait for that, i.e., JEE, JavaScript, etc, will come in a next release).
The blockers are few and becoming fewer: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-330?filter=12343308 Reema is working on the refactoring problem listed above and the other items above can only be verified once we actually have a release candidate. So -- last time Emilian put the release together, i.e., rc1. Now we're going to put the 9.0 final release together. Who will take on the task? It could be Emilian again, it could also be someone else (I believe there were a few others who put up their hand, e.g., Sven, Neil). Instructions: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+README Once the release has been put together, we will: 1. Have NetCAT do a quick check. 2. Do a community acceptance survey. 3. Do the PPMC vote. 4. Do the IPMC vote. 5. Release Apache NetBeans 9.0 final. So, feedback welcome, and volunteer release manager too. Thanks, Gj
