Dear community,
This is our first voting candidate for the 12.5 release of Apache NetBeans. Please note all requirements below for validating sources and convenience binaries before voting. Apache NetBeans 12.5 constitutes all clusters in the Apache NetBeans Git repository, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE, Java EE, PHP, JavaScript and Groovy features of Apache NetBeans. Build artifacts are available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/12.5 https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/12.5 They were built by the Jenkins pipeline: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/ release125/11/ We are primarily voting on: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/12.5/netbeans-12.5- source.zip SHA512: 80d868bc10851e81a6607a9ebde2f8a3f32b0bc88d90b29987a97e821975e0f3017a4d949a54 43c2f8d9ca4483bf9ede48ed089a81e954b6e11c0d2a300db9bc KEYS file: https://downloads.apache.org/netbeans/KEYS Associated with the primary source item we have, generated with the pipeline mentioned above: -- under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/12.5 binaries associated with the source netbeans-12.5-bin.zip as well as update content under nbms folder -- under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/12.5 you will find the platform cluster build netbeans-platform-12.5-bin.zip netbeans-platform-12.5-source.zip Release specific wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+12.5 --- maven artefacts The Maven artefacts for Apache NetBeans 12.5 are ready on staging associated to this vote. The version is : RELEASE125 Staged at : https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenetbeans-1090 ------------------------ Voting Requirements Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases - see: http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps. 1. Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files, 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. In addition to checking the sources, you should check the associated convenience binary zips and nbms at the artifact links above. 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. Separate votes will be held on other convenience binaries, including installers and Maven artifacts. Those will be dependent on this vote passing. 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) 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 12.5 will be released if and when this vote passes. Thank you to all contributors for all your hard work!
