Going through the verification steps for 11.2-u1, I first downloaded the source (with a browser), built, tested. Then saw request to check convenience NBMs. I downloaded a set of nbm/asc/sha512 and discovered that sha512sum wanted to run from the parent of the nbms directory. I wanted to fetch

Issues like these are really hard to tackle. Most likely some cache files got corrupted. FYI the default Gradle implementation does not use .nb-gradle folder we put our cached things under .gradle. BTW deleting .gradle directory is safe you just removed the corrupted cached content. On

Re: [DISCUSS] Dropping Installers from the Release Process leave that work to Third Party Distributors

Just adding some info: It is not just about the JDK, but JDK, nb-javac and probably a fitting JavaFX runtime. If someone can bundle those up and provide an installer most probably based on the installer code we have, then that would be the best end user experience, like in the old days when

Re: [DISCUSS] Dropping Installers from the Release Process leave that work to Third Party Distributors

That’s what we’re trying to achieve, though it looks unlikely that we’ll win this one. And in some ways it is better that we are not and cannot bundle the JDK because then the question would be “which JDK” and the answer is not so obvious — it would have more impact for AdoptOpenJDK to provide

RE: [DISCUSS] Dropping Installers from the Release Process leave that work to Third Party Distributors

I apologize if I misunderstood but the conversation appeared to me, likely incorrectly, to go beyond just bundling a Java JDK. The installers that are already there, are they downloading a JDK if one is not present? Requiring a separate install of Java is the status quo. If we could make that

You’re aware that we’re already distributing an installer, right? And that that is not what we’re talking about? We’re talking about the fact that we can’t bundle the JDK with that installer and then distribute that installer from Apache. A simple link on our download page to OpenBeans and

RE: [DISCUSS] Dropping Installers from the Release Process leave that work to Third Party Distributors

This is a bad idea. I personally feel that an installer is mandatory. Eclipse and IntelliJ have installers for all platforms. Leaving it to third parties will mean that we have no oversight on the quality and ease of use of the installer. Only distributing a zip file implies that skills beyond
