There is no such 'resolution'. nb-javac is the only module important enough to have a first-run/jit installer and we have received a go-ahead from LEGAL. The go-ahead was *not* for all (L)GPL modules we might also have in the current codebase.
The goal, imho, it to have a public NetBeans installer with Java 9 support for our users, preferably in 2017. In order to accomplish that, cutting arbitrary secondary modules/features seems an acceptable tradeoff. The java cluster depends on the ide cluster which has a *lot* of modules. Most of those are not necessary to make a Java IDE with Java 9, Maven, etc. --emi >-------- Original Message -------- >Subject: Re: IDE release >Local Time: November 23, 2017 8:21 PM >UTC Time: November 23, 2017 6:21 PM >From: mblaes...@doppel-helix.eu >To: dev@netbeans.incubator.apache.org > >Hey, > > Am Donnerstag, den 23.11.2017, 07:52 -0500 schrieb Emilian Bold: >>You can make a fine Java IDE with Java 9 support even if you have no >> MySQL connector out of the box or other secondary features which >> would need more work otherwise. >> >> I disagree.
