I'm trying to help out in a very small way. What I'm hoping to do is clean up some of the build cruft and learn at the same time.
So I created a new Jira ticket for my work.. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2514 Made the changes to remove the usage of sun.misc.Unsafe in the NoJavacHelper.java file. And issued a pull request. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1236 So a couple of things, I think this is the proper process to follow, correct? Also, since we only support the use of JDK 1.8 to compile Apache NetBeans, I think this change is correct.. I really didn't want to add any logic. Only to remove the usage of sun.misc.Unsafe. Any suggestions and/or comments are appreciated. -brad w.
