Happy New Year! Great to see, although ironic timing - had just written down fixing up my AppImage script* to use 12.2 on my to-do list for the start of the year.

I had a conversation with Simon Peter (probono) on this after posting about the above script experiment. There are at least two issues in doing an AppImage under the Apache umbrella - linking in a JDK, and the politics of choosing which JDK. Of course, having an AppImage without bundled JDK should be doable here, but less useful? I personally like the approach of building the parts to order, probably in a different fashion, and think it's something we might explore across other OS too. * https://gist.github.com/neilcsmith-net/69bcb23bcc6698815438dc4e3df6caa3 Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
