the experiment at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/7538 showed that removal of downloader/* is likely the quickest option. It builds, it tests and I also generated an .exe installer and tested it manually (only on JDK 22 since the (native) installer can't parse ea java versions, but this is off topic). NBI is in bad shape, unmaintained and NB is slowly transitioning to @neilcsmith-net's nbpackage, everything except windows is using it already. The NBI issue is preventing us from building or testing NetBeans on JDK 23 which is a problem. I will open a proper PR soon, with the cleaned up changes which remove the online functionality from NBI to give it a small life time extension. This would go in first, then we can merge the nb-javac 23 PR once ready, then the CI-on-23 PR and we are (hopefully) good for the NB 23 cycle. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
