Package: libnb-ide14-java
Version: 10.0-2
Severity: normal

Unfortunately Netbeans 10.0 does not support Git out-of-the-box
anymore. This used to work with version 8.1. The reason is that
several modules cannot be actived (installed in Netbeans terms) at
startup, among others libs.jgit and jsch (disable-Git-support.patch),
also the dlight modules which depend on jsch
(disable-nativeexecution-module.patch) and the standalone commons-io
library (o.apache.commons.io.patch).

This is apparently related to OSGi metadata. If I just replace the
org-apache-commons-io.jar in the IDE cluster with the prebuilt version
from the binary distribution, the module is installed correctly. It is
quite hard to figure out which module requires a certain dependency
because the error message is sparse. One can append

-J-Dorg.netbeans.level=FINER

or


-J-Dorg.netbeans.level=FINEST

to increase the verbosity but that did not help in this case.

Obviously it would be nice if Git "just" worked again. The current
workaround is to install the Git plugin from the plugin store.
