+1 (binding) DEPENDENCIES, LICENSE seem very thorough.
SHA1, MD5 are OK nbjavac installs fine and has the proper license presented upon install. Would still be nice to have Jan Lahoda signature pinned (or donate a license to Jan) so the users don't see the scary 'Verify Certificate' window with 'Warning: Installing untrusted plugins is potentially insecure.'. Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20180206-unknown-revn) Updates: Updates available Java: 1.8.0_66; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.66-b17 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_66-b17 System: Mac OS X version 10.12.6 running on x86_64; UTF-8; ro_RO (nb) NOTE: It shows me as having 'Updates available' because the Update Centers point to the *.netbeans.org links. Help | Report Issue... still sends users to https://netbeans.org/people/new Options | General still has the Usage Statistics enabled with a link to http://netbeans.org/about/usage-tracking.html. Minor thing: some text-based progress bar for downloadbinaries would be nice. openjfx-master-rt-8.zip seems particularly big Interestingly I renamed LICENSE to LICENSE.txt so I can open it more easily and the build failed: /Users/apache/Downloads/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-beta-source/nbbuild/build.xml:1549: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/apache/Downloads/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-beta-source/LICENSE (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138) at org.netbeans.nbbuild.extlibs.CreateLicenseSummary.execute(CreateLicenseSummary.java:142) Did the same with the DISCLAIMER file (renamed to DISCLAIMER.txt) and the build also failed: BUILD FAILED /Users/apache/Downloads/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-beta-source/nbbuild/build.xml:1569: Warning: Could not find file /Users/apache/Downloads/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-beta-source/DISCLAIMER to copy. --emi -------- Original Message -------- On 4 February 2018 4:49 PM, Geertjan Wielenga <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi all, > > Please vote on releasing Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) rc3!
