So is the C++ support being removed from Apache NB, and done as 3rd party

The plan published by Geertjan saying C++ is donated after Java support is
donated (end of August?).
Just some binary from closed sources doesn’t seem the Apache way per other
discussions.
I hope you misunderstood the other discussion:
External binaries under Apache-friendly license are OK to be used in Apache
NetBeans.
Btw, being just binaries with LLVM license might even simplify the current
process for donation of sources.
Because Clank source code base is 2.6MLOC...
I am not sure closed source binaries are the same thing regardless of the
license. I may have misunderstood for sure. It read like Clank and the
other libs sources are in Oracle and not open unlike nbjavac which I
understand the sources will be available. Have I misunderstood? If so,
great.
You might be right, I could be wrong...
Someone should clarify the case.
Btw, C++ support can work without Clank libraries as well (as was till
8.0), just some features will be missed.
Vladimir.
I think Clank in the wild would be awesome btw. I was trying to find it
after reading this. The C++ support is one area I have been interested in
once over at Apache.
C++ support is in NetBeans for a long time, so welcome to participate
already now :-)
I know and has been on my agenda to dig into for a while, but with the
transition I have been waiting on some things. :-)
Thanks
