Hi folks, Given that there are a lot of balls in the air with regard to apache transition and Netbeans 9 release schedule, what is the correct process for submitting a patch, and what chance of getting it into Netbeans 9?
Specifically: 1. Do I create a bug/feature in Jira or in Bugzilla? 2. I have not yet signed a contributor agreement. Do I sign the old Oracle one, or do I only deal with the Apache ICLA? Is there a different ICLA for contributor vs committer? 3. Is there any sort of code freeze (soft or otherwise) in place at the moment for Netbeans 9.0, 8.3 or 8.2.1? The patch I’m proposing will be slim - it is just a refactoring to replace some hardwired construction of Cookies with a factory interface and Service Provider semantics (affecting XMLDataObject). This will allow me (and others) to develop new XML validation algorithms as a plugin in isolation from the main build. Cheers Ross
