And for those of use who are more involved day-to-day, it's causing issues, and creating work (including the issue that kicked off this thread). That one I argued we should fix and keep the validation tests on JDK 8, and put time into fixing. I'm personally not prepared to invest any more of my time into this in future though. > At any vote you ever call - even if I miss it.

Any PMC member could call a vote on this. I'd quite like to get a consensus way forward, and the framework aspect of NetBeans, and the needs of those users, is really key for me as I've argued already in this thread. > That's what I have been providing to you for the last three years (at least). > You were never listening to me.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I've certainly listened to your proposals. I don't believe they could have addressed many of the points that have been raised though. > Threatening with a "non-veto" vote on a code issue is a bit nasty, but I can > live with it.

ASF has testing infrastructure sponsored by GitHub, but it's not unlimited, and we're a fairly heavy user as it is. The time taken for tests to run also has knock-on implications.
