Hello NetCAT enthusiasts, The JDK team has prepared another security update of JDK 8 and we were asked to verify that NetBeans 8.2 works smoothly with it. That's why we have rebuilt installers of the NetBeans & JDK bundle and started to sanity test both installation and basic features. Even though this is not an Apache NetBeans release, we would appreciate your help with this task!
The planned release date is October 17th. Grab the right installers and check that these are signed correctly and install the right binaries. For more information please see this Wiki: http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeans_82_JDK8u151_Bundle_GoNoGo The areas which need coverage are: JavaScript/HTML 5 Editor, Versioning, Ant/Maven Projects, Database Support, GUI Builder, Platform and Modules, and PHP. If you want to participate, just add your name to the table and download the installer for your operating system(s). If you find any strange behavior, please bring it here first for further discussion and report bug(s) after it's clarified. Many thanks and happy testing! Best regards, Hermien & Jirka
