AW: Netbeans 9.0 Final Release - Update Center

2018-08-08 Thread Alexander Faust
„Waiting for a long time for this version” should not be a reproach. I don’t need the Netbeans 9 IDE features. My team develops a software application (java) which is based on the Netbeans Platform RCP and we have shipped our latest release with Netbeans 8.2 as base. Almost every customer

Don't want to sound like I'm trolling, but why exactly were you waiting a long time for this version? I'm using 8.2 and it's quite fine for PHP development. If there's something you expected to see in v9 then you should have also been aware of the development and caveats as Geertjan mentioned.

Excellent idea. The best thing is to sign up to the dev mailing list and discuss this there — that’s the place to discuss working on Apache NetBeans vs using it, which is what this mailing list is for. Looking forward to seeing/hearing you on the calls! Gj On Wednesday, August 8, 2018, Carl

I'm using NetBeans IDE for more than 5 years in my every day job coding c/c++ because I'm heavy on remote development. And NB is the only choice for now. And frankly speaking it is 5 years of suffer and fighting with IDE. Not sure why netbeans developed in such sadistic way but I haven't saw a

Hi, As the plugins portal still has to be moved to Apache, I am trying to create a new account (developm...@itextpdf.com) in netbeans.org to publish a plugin created at iText. The problem is that I don't receive a verification mail. On the mailing lists archive from July I have read that it's

PS: You get no points at all for "waiting a long time for this version". None at all. Waiting for an Apache project to be released is the worst thing you can do -- instead, all the source code is available and there's all kinds of ways to be involved, at least in discussions, at least by being

Netbeans 9.0 Final Release - Update Center

Hello, I waited a long time for this version. Is this really the final release version of Netbeans 9.0? I can't find many plugins (Available Plugins) in the update center. Why contains the "Netbeans Distibution UAC" only 2-3 available plugins after the installation? For example I need the

But just be aware that 9.0 officially only supports Java SE. To use C/C++, you'll need to install the related 8.2 plugins and they should work fine, though it's possible there could be problems: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my Thanks, Gj On Wed, Aug 8, 2018 at

Native packaging with OpenJDK

2018-08-08 Thread R. Diez
Hi all: Oracle is changing the licensing of its JRE, so I am considering switching over to OpenJDK. These are a few questions I can think about: 1) Does NetBeans 9 work well with OpenJDK? The docs for the older NetBeans 8 say that it does not. I develop on Ubuntu 16.04, which does have
