Dear all,
Can we summarize/organize what's happening here? Telling the true, I was
following this conversation a bit apart, and all I see this is going
nowhere (that could be a misperception). Are there options we should
vote on?

Why?! Is anyone here suggesting we shouldn't deliver nb-javac by
default to users? Please don't drop that plan - I didn't spend a load
of time arguing the legal point to want to stick with the status quo!
:-)
We just need some way to meet the needs of people who want to run
against JDK javac for whatever reason. I wonder if the baseline for
running without nb-javac could be raised to JDK 17 and still meet
requirements mentioned here? That might help with the testing matrix
concerns?
I'm also hoping if/when we do include nb-javac by default, it will
never again be a cause of release delays! :-)
Of course. Generating new nb-javac binary shall be matter of changing few
lines of code and pressing the build button.
Yes, but not by us. All we can do at ASF is consume the produced and
distributed binaries*. If you / OracleLabs (ideally), is taking this
process on and ensuring more responsive timing, great! It's still not
a process we have any control over here.
* OK, if the patch files were all ASL licensed we *might* be able to
find a way to do this as part of the NetBeans build I guess?
Best wishes,
Neil
