Thanks for the response Will. I certainly understand your position, whereby the Jakarta EE space is definitely very fluid at this point and there is no certain confirmation of a release date. I agree that we should not *hold up* the next Apache NetBeans release in an effort to try and get all of the Java EE modules into shape. That said, do we think it is possible to make a cut off date for inclusion of features into the Apache Netbeans 10 release? If we say that the cut off date is September 1st, then of course Java EE support will not be included in the release. However, if we say that October 1st is the cutoff, then maybe with lots of effort we could get the modules into shape on time. I know it will be lots of effort, but I'm just asking if we have any leeway here as far as feature inclusion. It would be great to say that Apache NetBeans 10 fully supports the development of Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE.
BTW, I think that adding Java 11 and PHP support will be well more than enough new features to create a full release. I'm just a Java EE guy so I'm trying to take a community standpoint on that front. Thanks!
