Note: Feature freeze for 12.4 is some way away (April 16), so please do go ahead scheduling content for 12.4 and providing pull requests for that purpose, with end of May being the release date for 12.4.

Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files, using find . -type f | grep -e "\.jar$", except for: - platform/autoupdate.services/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/api/autoupdate/data/empty.jar - enterprise/glassfish.common/test/unit/data/nottaDir-4_1_2.jar - enterprise/glassfish.common/test/unit/data/subdir/nottaDir-5.0.jar - enterprise/payara.common/test/unit/data/nottaDir-4_1_2.jar - enterprise/payara.common/test/unit/data/subdir/nottaDir-5.0.jar which are only JARs by their name 3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file. 4. Build it using the README provided by the artifact. 5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process and try running it. As well as checking any artifact functions correctly, you should check that it has been correctly signed by a PMC member, and that the source being voted on is sufficient to build the relevant binary. This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and -1 as usual. (Please justify -1.) Please mark your vote with (binding) if, and only, if you're an Apache NetBeans PMC member to help with voting admin. *Only respond if you are going to vote*, i.e., this is *NOT* a discussion thread. NetBeans 12.4 Beta 1 will be released if and when this vote passes. Thank you to all contributors for all your hard work! Geertjan and Neil Release Managers for Apache NetBeans 12.4 Beta 1 (and beyond)
