Re: AW: AW: [news] NetCAT 9.0 proposal

2018-02-23 Thread Wade Chandler
I agree with this sentiment. I have logic that allows one to run or debug a
single Groovy test that has been in the main NB code since before NB 8.2
was released, and yet I can't get my value and time spent out of that work
yet.

Obviously the move has some to do with the wait right now, but I wouldn't
want to wait half a year for such changes to show up regardless. We had
that as contributors before, and it detracts from the value of contributing
if itches can't be scratched quickly.

I prefer some scheme where changes such as that can make it into the
contributors production IDE as fast as responsibly possible if we can
figure that out.

Thanks

Wade

NetBeans often lacks behind Features. No Vue Support, no full real Angular 2 
Support, a lot of stuff that was not working under Oracle, often this is not 
possible with 3rd Party Plugins, because of the private APIs or whatever (See 
the Angular 2 template stuff inside html files or KendoUI Support, what 
Geertjan started, which is not possible anymore to work with, because it is not 
a friend plugin anymore). And if you compare NetBeans with big competitors like 
IntelliJ/PHPStorm/WebStorm or Eclipse or VS Code, we must Change smth, we have 
to.

I don’t mean, that we have to have this politics like: Get Things done fast. 
But I think if we have a better Pipeline and a better QA process and whatever, 
that we can save 2 months (Remove NetCat) because that is not needed. 2 Months 
that can save time from maybe 6 Months + 2 Months NetCat to only 6 or less. I 
prefer 3 months too, as we can see it now, we have some new PRs and sure we 
will have more and more. People are waiting for new stuff, etc. And as I said, 
it is not only about NB 9.


Cheers

Chris

I share the same opinion. For me personally quality is the most precious 
feature. I know that we all have been waiting for NetBeans 9.0 for more 
than a year now but good things need time. ;)

Regarding release frequency, we should release only when it makes sense 
i.e. when a set of interesting new features is implemented together with 
a handful of critical bug fixes. Let's not follow the modern but insane 
corporate paranoia: "We must get it out quickly otherwise competition 
will be far ahead!" which only leads to frustration and disappointment 
both among development teams and end users.

We are true open source project now! I don't want to go back to date 
driven release trains at all cost.

 Is this only on 10 or with 10 as Platform as well (thinking of var ...)

 P.S.  Is Synergy already hosted on Apache infrastructure?
