Great, Matthias. Generating binary files during the test run is usually better than having them directly in the repository. > Am Samstag, dem 11.09.2021 um 19:10 +0100 schrieb Neil C Smith: > > > I'll see if I can remove them all all, but for 12.5 IMHO this is out of > > > scope and also unnessary.

To prevent similar panic next time, can we create a test that fails the build? It is ridiculous to rely on humans to check something as technical manually. The [line endings test](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/apache/netbeans/jobs/ 536940454) or the [libs and licenses test](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/ apache/netbeans/jobs/536940455) would be particularly suited to prevent additions of new JAR files. -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
