Hi All, I knew I spoke too soon promising an on-schedule third beta! :-) We still need to solve the issue of delivering an updated nb-javac for NB 11.2 (more below). It isn't now feasible to fix and merge something today to get a beta build done, and as I'm tied up with work over the next few days, I'm going to push back beta3 to the beginning of next week. That gives a bit more time to not rush a fix and ensure it's working. I'd still prefer beta3 to also end up as the final release vote candidate. In beta2 we had a revised way to provision nb-java in the internal 3rd-party update centre, similarly to JavaFX. Currently all 11.x releases share a plugin portal, but we need a separate nb-java for new Java features in NB 11.2, while still serving the old one to 11.0 and 11.1. Unfortunately the solution in beta2 has proven not to be working correctly in practice. There are a couple of potential fixes for this, or we may need to revert to Plan B and use a separate specific update centre for nb-javac in NB 11.2, or switch entirely to the new plugin portal. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1556 https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1560 Thoughts are welcome on approach. My personal preference is probably still PR1556.
