Pull requests are good; automation is better. NetBeans knows its own release version. The only (potentially) missing information is what release the friend API first appeared in.
So there's no reason the module system itself couldn't just discard "friend" status for any friend API and allow any module to depend on it, where the running release version is >= the first-appeared-in-release + 2 (or whatever number). So, a friend API that appears in release 9 is automatically a public API in release 11, no human intervention required (the Ant build harness and Maven plugin would also have to do this computation). That would also light a fire under developers to actually stabilize APIs. -Tim On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 9:34 AM Neil C Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, 13 Jul 2018 at 14:26, Geertjan Wielenga > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Put together a proposal on the Apache NetBeans Wiki and we can discuss > it. > > The wiki page I linked to on the old site does have some proposals > here that look interesting and detailed.
