Hi all,
Please vote on releasing Apache NetBeans 9.0 Alpha (incubating)! If this
voting passes, another similar voting will be started on
gene...@incubator.apache.org, and if that passes too, then we can release
this version.
Apache NetBeans 9.0 Alpha (incubating) constitutes the modules of Apache
NetBeans that provide the application framework of NetBeans, that is, the
NetBeans Platform.

Included as a convenience is a binary, unzip it and run it and you'll see
the NetBeans Platform:

MD5: cd73c738a321dd3c55fcfef49429e0e2
Included in the above are the DEPENDENCIES, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, and
NOTICE
files.
Notable changes based on comments in the previous vote thread:
-no IDE launchers (bin/netbeans), this is only the platform
-jsearch.jar (GPLv2-CPE) removed from the binary (and the source
dependency)
-tests enhanced to fail on non-optional/non-compile-time/non-CPE GPL
dependency
-basic readmes on both source and binary builds
-for CDDL+GPL dual licensed libraries, changed the licenses to CDDL
-source builds have the cluster.config set to the value used to
produce the
zip, so that there is no need to provide command line parameters, i.e.,
simply run 'ant'
Please try out the package and vote!
The vote is open for a minimum of 72 hours or until the necessary
number of
votes (3 binding +1s) is reached.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NetBeans 9.0 Alpha (incubating)
