Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-4328: ---------------------------------------- Fixed in 12.0-beta5. > Installation of nb-javac and JavaFX no longer optional in some cases > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-4328 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4328 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 12.0, 11.3 > Reporter: Neil C Smith > Priority: Blocker > Labels: netcat > Fix For: 12.0 > > Time Spent: 3h 50m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Changes between 11.2 and 11.3 mean that when opening existing Java projects > (or when projects are being opened during settings imports on first run), it > is no longer possible to cancel the dialog to install JavaFX and nb-javac > without the projects being marked broken and Java support not being enabled. > This is because JavaFX has now been marked required. > When importing settings on first run, the dialog gets re-shown for every open > project if cancel is pressed - this gives the appearance of an infinite loop > forcing the user to install the optional plugins. This is particularly a > problem because we don't want users to install nb-javac in 12.0 with JDK 14. > *If the user is unwilling or _unable because of network issues_ to install > JavaFX, the IDE is rendered unusable and they are left with the impression > they need to force quit the IDE.* > This also breaks the guidelines on optional Cat X dependencies at > [https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved#optional] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
