What shall we do for NB 25 which is currently baking?
situation: unchanged
Should we drop NBI or do another release? The mentioned issues did not
progress. Users will likely have difficulties to uninstall NB 23/24 on
windows. Those affected by it might also not be able to install NB 25
due to broken installer configuration.
I used to test on win10/11 during vote but won't do that anymore since I
can't update the windows image to the latest version inside virtualbox -
I can't reproduce any of this anyway so its mostly wasted time at this
point I think.
option 1:
- drop NBI windows
- add a link down to the community installers for windows users
- keep all other installers for now
option 2:
- release everything again for one more release
option 3:
- drop everything except the zip
option 4: ?
best regards,
michael

There are two things to consider. Firstly, we could, and actually in
my opinion should, drop all the convenience installers and just
provide the binary zip. Installers that rely on system JDKs are
likely to become more problematic over time, given code signing,
sandboxing, permissions and other factors. I think if people want to
use a JDK of choice they should use the binary zip. That also means
potentially looking to improve the range and availability of community
installers, besides or instead of the ones I'm producing I hasten to
add! That will involve continuing discussions somewhat independent of
the project itself.
I agree on this one. Even if I considered having packages from the
single source of truth as value.
Holding to that simply getting too much burden on maintenance on the
other hand could be restrictive also could be inconvenient for our
users as well.
I would like to drop the Apache NetBeans Provided Snap packages as
well, move that to community. Apache restrictions, while being
reasonable, eventually hurt end-user experience.
