Hi all, Please vote on releasing Apache NetBeans 9.0 (incubating)!
If this voting candidate passes, another similar voting will be started on [email protected], and if that passes too, then we can release this version. This build will also undergo validation through NetCAT. Apache NetBeans 9.0 (incubating) constitutes all the modules in the Apache NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE-related features of Apache NetBeans. In short, Apache NetBeans 9.0 (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE development. Build artifacts available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-vc3 The specific artifact to be voted on: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-vc3/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-source.zip Included in the above are the DEPENDENCIES, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, and NOTICE files, as well as a README file with build instructions, which are the same as these: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-netbeans.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.md;h=eccd3c6cc707ba9ca219bcfb72979435d85f5f7a;hb=97904961e496383d6150aef9b78fa8dff8f3e1ce SHA1: ed2098c173460ec81f05635055066da06a7ea82b KEYS file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans/KEYS Apache NetBeans Git Repo tag: 9.0-vc3 : https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-netbeans.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/9.0-vc3 Note: NetBeans license violation checks are managed via the rat-exclusions.txt file: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-netbeans.git;a=blob;f=nbbuild/rat-exclusions.txt;h=36cb8a3eae40bd7fc41c63c6055bce42f7916859;hb=97904961e496383d6150aef9b78fa8dff8f3e1ce Rat report shows no unknown licenses, except for license files: https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-netbeans-release/334/artifact/rat-java-temp/nbbuild/build/rat-report.txt Included as a convenience binary, not relevant for the voting purposes (unzip it, run it and you'll see Apache NetBeans): https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-vc3/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-bin.zip Also included as a convenience binary the NBMs: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-vc3/nbms New & Noteworthy features of the 9.0 Release: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+New+and+Noteworthy Release specific wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Final+Release How (and what) to try out the release: 1. Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file 3. Build it using the README provided by the artifact. 4. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process. 5. Run the NetBeans executable and (if you're running on JDK 8) you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms, and (if you're running on JDK 9), you'll be able to use javac directly from JDK 9 and, optionally, you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms. If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up vote +1 in this thread. Note that according to http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval : > Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are REQUIRED to download all > signed source code packages onto their own hardware, verify that they meet > all requirements of ASF policy on releases as described below, validate all > cryptographic signatures, compile as provided, and test the result on their > own platform. Please try out the package, using the instructions above, and vote! The vote is open for a minimum of 72 hours or until the necessary number of votes (3 binding +1s) is reached. [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NetBeans 9.0 (incubating) [ ] 0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release [ ] -1 Do not release this package because... Please add "(binding)" if your vote is binding, i.e., you are an Apache NetBeans PPMC member, i.e., your name is on this page: http://home.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#netbeans , although note the only real binding votes in the incubator are those of the IPMC, i.e., in the next vote thread, after this one passes.
