Great to see this starting! Also learned that Java 10 is soon upon us! Like only yesterday we were thinking about Java 9 :-)
Anyhow, 2 months seems like a very fast turnout for a product as large as NetBeans. Good luck! As a developer I assume NetCAT bugs will get a label in JIRA and such? I might be tempted to register to such notifications so I fix these first if I have some time. Note (to self): look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver073/working-with-search-results-861257284.html?_ga=2.151364665.1884556607.1519512403-804770099.1482342300#ReceivingSearchResultsviaEmail-SubscribingtoaFilter , particularly "Subscribing to your search results". --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 22 February 2018 9:47 PM, Jiří Kovalský <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello NetBeans community, > > now that we have Apache NetBeans 9.0 Beta officially released to > > public we would like to start our traditional Beta testing program > > called NetCAT.
