Hey, My 2 cents here again. First I want to know, what you think, how the minor Releases should look like. If they also contains Features, I’m fine with that two.
I will be more fine to have only 2 releases, if we can have more public apis for other languages except Java. This is, IMHO a big Problem that a lot of stuff, can’t be done with 3rd-party Plugins for HTML, PHP, JS, CSS, etc. because of missing public APIs. If we have more public APIs, we can have more Features inside of NetBeans with only 3rd-party Plugins. We can’t adding hints and Code fixes for JS, CSS/LESS/SCSS, PHP or HTML which could make the work easier. And this is only one Little example. We can’t adding embedding languages to the mentioned languages. NetBeans first was build only for Java, this is why the Tokens of Java are public, the hints and fixes you can add with 3rd-party Plugins. So this is why you can add a lot of stuff to the Java Editor with 3rd-party Plugins. If we are open-source, we should open minded too to let the Developers decide, whether I want to add my feature into the core and wait 6 month after it is relased to the next Version or to add it via a Plugin and can bring it up today or tomorrow.

I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts about how this lines up with JDK releases: * Is it better to do the NB testing after the general availability of the JDK, or aim to have them released about the same time? * What versions of JDK does Netbeans need to support, in terms of developing/building NB itself, running NB and developing Java applications using NB. (since there are alternatives to Oracle JDK I suppose we don't need to be influenced by Oracle's support scheme) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
