Hi John,
until the maintainers find the time, would you mind testing what
problems remain after merging my PR? The PR is only specific to Maven in
that it refines the logic to find the correct javadoc and source jars in
the Maven repository. The other improvements (javadoc 9+ support,
understanding the layout of JavaFX javadoc jars) should apply to all
manually attached javadoc jars as well.
Building NetBeans is surprisingly simple, the docs are here [0]. For
building the PR, here is a summary (untested, please let me know if it
doesn't work):
1. Download and unzip OpenJDK 8 [1]
2. Run the following in a terminal:
$ git clone --branch NETBEANS-1396 https://github.com/zimmi/netbeans.git
$ cd netbeans
$ export JAVA_HOME=/your/path/to/jdk8
$ ant
$ ant tryme
That should build (and start) a working NetBeans distribution inside
nbbuild/netbeans. Please let me know if you run into any issues!
I'm also not a maintainer by the way, the above is my first PR to NetBeans.
