Nevermind. This seems to be a bit of non-news that's over a month old: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/09/java_release_train_qcon/ Gili On 2018-04-26 2:15 PM, cowwoc wrote: Gentlemen, Most of you will probably be impacted by the following bit of news: http://jdk.java.net/11/ Oracle

Re: Time to branch for the release candidate?

Just for my interest, which types of people can approve Pull Requests? As we are now open source the community is deciding what's important by providing the PR's but we have quite a few stacked up. It has previously been mentioned in someone else request to get one approved that they should just

Re: Time to branch for the release candidate?

Well, I'm trying to collect the remaining things to do for 9.0 release for a week now, from GitHub PR-s, JIRA and this mailing list. Regarding 9.0 in numbers are the following (none may be accurate, though): We have 31 open PR-s in GitHub (not necessary 9.0 related) We have 44 open issues

Oracle no longer offering JREs for desktops (!!)

Gentlemen, Most of you will probably be impacted by the following bit of news: http://jdk.java.net/11/ Oracle will no longer offer a stand-alone JRE for desktops. Starting with JDK 11 Oracle will only produce a JDK and a Server JRE. I assume this goes hand-in-hand with earlier news that

Re: Tracking Issues, Versions

Well, it seems there no too many option here. I'm walking through the open issues with PR-s now. I'm going to mark their Fix Version to 9.0 if I think that shall be part of that release. BTW Could someone grant me some rights in JIRA to share my dashboard:

Re: What Coding Conventions Should We Follow Now? What should the IDE default to?

Buhahaha. I disagree (I believe that "smart" tabs is far superior to space-based indentation), but I don't care enough to debate it on this mailing list. We all know this point has been beaten to death for decades now. On a side-note, in my experience checkstyle is a net loss on most

Re: Time to branch for the release candidate?

+1 and even if we don’t have a “dev” branch, I think we should be able to release from master without branching. We should be working to stabilize things near a release, and perhaps we ask folks not to merge new features to master, but only fixes for a period of time. If we could support

Re: Time to branch for the release candidate?

I think a release branch serves several purposes, among others: -ability to add changes that are specific for the release (in case of NetBeans things like: release branding, updating module spec. versions to release format, disabling exceptions, etc.) -let development (features and general

Re: Time to branch for the release candidate?

I went though the open issues with PR-s list. I've marked 17 issues resolved due to it's PR merged, and added some flags for 9.0 as well. Right now in JIRA we have 27 open issues with PR and 9 of them are marked for 9.0 release. We still have 31 open PRs. As of 9.0: We have 40 issues open

Here's a bug, with a pull request and some discussion, that's not quite a blocker (it existed in 8.2) but still arguably critical: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-403 "Pressing Home/End scrolls to beginning/end of whole document if tooltip is open" There's an ongoing discussion

Enable G1's String Deduplication by default.

Dear all, I've opened an issue months ago in order to revisit the default startup options. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-342 I did not came up with anything really big, besides removing the client VM specification. However I think we can add string deduplication feature of

I thought Jiri had marked some issues as blockers for 9.0 as part of netcat. Laszlo to get those permissions you need to raise an INFRA ticket. On 26 April 2018 at 19:23, Matthias Bläsing wrote: > Hi, > > Am Donnerstag, den 26.04.2018, 11:18 -0700 schrieb Laszlo
