The current NetBeans release schedule, versioning scheme, and JDK upgrade policy were all community decisions under the apache process. https://lists.apache.org/thread/m60jx7jdfz56lkt6k1wb0wrngn8w9y5f https://lists.apache.org/thread/w111p1f0mc5fvhw1xzmx0d8gd9kb7c9h (...) NetBeans before apache certainly didn't have time based releases, it had major versions, update releases etc - like essentially all software releases back in the days. I think it is also worth mentioning that time based schedules are not a precondition for automated JDK min-requirement rules. e.g https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2023/11/06/introducing-2-2-2-java-support-plan/ regards, -mbien (NB PMC) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
