Hi All, The third beta of NB 11.2 is scheduled for Wed Oct 9th. At least, that's the plan - last two not quite on schedule! :-) Hopefully this will be our final beta before release, and we'll aim for the voting candidate to be binary identical to the final beta, assuming no remaining blocker or

Possible NB 11.2 blocker?

2019-10-11 Thread Neil C Smith
Hi, Saw an issue report today which might be the sign of a blocking issue in NB 11.2. I won't be able to look further until Monday. It appears we're getting a NPE in OptionsChooserPanel related to reading the netbeans.buildnumber system property. But I think this is still being set correctly?
