Hi all, Please vote on releasing Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) rc1!
If this voting passes, another similar voting will be started on [email protected], and if that passes too, then we can release this version. Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) constitutes all the modules in the Apache NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE-related features of Apache NetBeans. In short, Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE development. Build artifacts available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1 The specific artifact to be voted on: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-rc1-source.zip Included in the above are the DEPENDENCIES, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, and NOTICE files, as well as a README file with build instructions, which are the same as these: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/README.md MD5: 75ac72983e074f159638a8da4cec6c8b SHA1: a1a265455c8246f849b14982fa3c36b351b21876 KEYS file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans/KEYS Apache NetBeans Git Repo tag: 9.0-rc1-rc1: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/tree/9.0-rc1-rc1 Note: NetBeans license violation checks are managed via the rat-exclusions.txt file: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/rat-exclusions.txt Rat report shows no unknown licenses, except for license files: https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-netbeans-release/302/artifact/rat-java-temp/nbbuild/build/rat-report.txt The license files listed in the Rat report are known and an issue exists for solving this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-305 Included as a convenience binary, not relevant for the voting purposes (unzip it, run it and you'll see Apache NetBeans): https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-rc1-bin.zip Also included as a convenience binary the NBMs: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/nbms New & Noteworthy features of the 9.0 Release: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+New+and+Noteworthy Release specific wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+RC1 How (and what) to try out the 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. If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up, you will have a development environment that complies with Apache IP requirements and you should vote +1 in this thread. Please try out the package, using the instructions above, 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 RC1 (incubating) [ ] 0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release [ ] -1 Do not release this package because... Please add "(binding)" if your vote is binding, i.e., you are an Apache NetBeans PPMC member, i.e., your name is on this page: http://home.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#netbeans , although note the only real binding votes in the incubator are those of the IPMC, i.e., in the next vote thread, after this one passes.
