Hi, Unless there are any objections, I will take over from Geertjan as the point person for the OpenJDK Quality Outreach. I will get more details from Rory to better understand what Outreach expects. I will then reach out to Jaroslav or whomever might be more appropriate to learn how to collect the data required.
Jaroslav, you are right, it is more effective to not just report a bug in a component of the JDK but to also propose the fix as you did in your issue. You are reminding me to update the wiki. I assume that you are referring to the OpenJDK Wiki or is there a NetBeans Wiki that I have not been able to find.

I'd like to point out that Geertjan is listed on the wiki page https:// wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/quality/Quality+Outreach > Apache Netbeans Geertjan Wielenga > Use OpenJDK 12 EA b26 Phase 2 or higher and OpenJDK 11.0.2 as an Apache NetBeans contact providing feedback since JDK11! Given Geertjan isn't even aware of being part of the OpenJDK Quality Outreach program, we can estimate the importance of the program. However having Ken as an official NetBeans representative is certainly better, than not being there at all.

NetBeans blogging and social media campaign started the same week as JEP 411 was published. Participation in any public forum couldn't speed the reaction up.

Well, create a PR for OpenJDK then! Overall I doubt participation in OpenJDK Quality Outreach forum can dramatically improve anything. Direct action is what counts: be it buzz over JEP-411 or submitting PRs for OpenJDK to make NetBeans work better (like https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/3939). Anyway having a channel to talk to OpenJDK is better for Apache NetBeans, than not having it. Good luck, Ken! Don't forget to update the wiki. -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
