Hi all,
As part of evaluating how far along various popular open source 
projects are regarding testing with upcoming JDK releases, developers 
are regularly asked to consider participating in the OpenJDK Quality 
Outreach [1][2] effort that Rory (CC:ed, as the OpenJDK Quality Group 
Lead) leads.

Through that effort, more community testing of JDK Early Access (EA) 
builds are being encouraged, and to assist those projects that 
participate in filing, tracking, and (hopefully) resolving issues they 
find along the way. Currently, about 100 FOSS projects participate in 
the effort.

So it would be great if we'd take a chance to try out our projects 
that we develop with NetBeans with JDK 11, JDK 12, or JDK 13, as well 
as NetBeans itself, and if we run into any JDK-related showstopper 
issues, file them against the JDK.

Last but not least, you're invited to join the Quality Outreach effort 
with your projects. Rory can fill you in on the details of how it all 
works.

I send out email every 2-3 weeks depending on contents of the builds, 
example attached.
I try to highlight significant changes in the builds, allowing you to 
decide if you might want
to test with a particular build. We don't expect you to test every 
build, it's entirely up to you.

If you would like us to list your project on the Quality Outreach wiki 
[1] , can you provide a
contact name ,  mailing list - I guess d...@netbeans.apache.org ,the 
current status of you testing
against JDK 11,JDK 12 etc. and a CI if possible  ?

Rgds,Rory
