Hi Eric/Geertjan,

I was looking at whats involved here and I believe, we need someone with an
Apple Developer Account which requires a yearly subscription fee of €99.

Is there an "Apache", or "Apache NetBeans" Apple Developer Account, that
was used previously?  With this account, you gain access to a "Developer ID
Installer" certificate which I'm guessing is the same as an "Apple
Developer Installer Certificate" as that is mentioned in [1], and I have
found no record of this listed anywhere...

Whose certificate was used for the 11.X releases?  Was this a personal one
or an Apache/NetBeans certificate?

John
