Geertjan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> Date: Fri, Feb 9, 2018 at 10:36 PM Subject: [VOTE] Release Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) rc3 To: gene...@incubator.apache.org Hi all, The Apache NetBeans community has voted on and approved a proposal to release Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) rc3. We now kindly request that the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this incubator release candidate. Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) constitutes all the modules currently in the Apache NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), which was released as Apache NetBeans 9.0 Alpha (incubating), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE-related features of Apache NetBeans. In short, Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE development. Just like the Alpha release, the Beta release is focused specifically on IP clearance. With Beta, everything in Apache NetBeans Git complies with Apache IP clearance requirements: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta Changes between rc1 and rc2 -- binaries wrongly included in source zip have been removed: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-276 Changes between rc2 and rc3 -- problems identified by the rc2 IPMC vote by IPMC members Justin Mclean and John D. Ament have been solved or issues have been created: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta+rc3 https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8e9520d5e1e365ed2337940fb629c209c63efae24b0a2e44d50412a3@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E How to try out the Beta release: 1. Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Build it using the README provided by the artifact. 3. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process. 4. Run the NetBeans executable and (if you're running on JDK 8) you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms, and (if you're running on JDK 9), you'll be able to use javac directly from JDK 9 and, optionally, you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms. Take note of the Apache Rat exclusions, which are now in a separate file: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/rat-exclusions.txt If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up, you will have a Java SE development environment that complies with Apache IP requirements.
