Hi. As my first attempt to accommodate the recent donation of various presenters by DukeHoff GmbH, and release 1.7 of Apache NetBeans HTML/Java API failed with a NOTICE file error and a bug in WebKitPresenterTest, I had to prepare new bits. Please find the source at
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-html4j/netbeans-html4j-1.7/ and the staged Maven artifacts at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenetbeans-1052/ Please evaluate them again and cast your vote during next 72h. The process of evaluation is the same as last week. What can you verify? ## checksums, signatures, etc. Obviously those should be correct. ## if it builds I used "mvn package -DskipTests" and I believe the compilation shall succeed on JDK8, JDK11, JDK13 (Eric reported problem building on JDK13, but it works for me). ## if the tests pass Use "mvn package". They may not - especially the newly donated modules are very sensitive to surrounding environment. Getting them run on all important platforms may take some time. If you want to report your findings, then please include the version of operating system, version of JDK, version of the browser, etc. You may also want to run them individually. E.g. "mvn -f browser test" or "mvn -f webkit test". I know that browser doesn't seem to run on Windows 8 with Internet Explorer (but it runs with Firefox instead). I know that webkit does run on Ubuntu 18.04 with proper libraries ("libwebkit") installed. But those libraries aren't present in Ubuntu 19.10 - there is "libwebkit2" and somebody would have to adjust the code to use the "libwebkit2" code. In short, there are many broken things in the browser and webkit modules - volunteers welcomed to make them run! ## How to cast your vote? I propose the goal of 1.7 release to be to compile and execute its tests (except browser and webkit modules) on all supported platforms. We should collect the test failures in browser and webkit modules and find some volunteers to fix them for some upcoming update release.
