Dear community,
Sorry for the delay, artefacts are ready since 3 days but we hit a per file size limitation on the distribution server. Thanks to INFRA this now ok. This is our first voting candidate for the 11.3 release of Apache NetBeans. Note that this is our first release vote where you are required to check both sources and convenience binaries before voting! See requirements below. Apache NetBeans 11.3 constitutes all clusters in the Apache NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE, Java EE, PHP, JavaScript and Groovy features of Apache NetBeans. Build artefacts are available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/11.3/ They were built by the Jenkins pipeline and moved to their place: https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/NetBeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbea ns/job/release113/13 We are primarily voting on: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/netbeans-11.3- source.zip SHA512: 5c9152d571993f116c94fe968066ec8ca288c76353b4406c0de4d6e0941a4678724c73447444 8128f9f9ff4dd79a944598d5760311ecea7695437d4debcde75c netbeans-11.3-source.zip KEYS file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/netbeans/KEYS -- Associated to the primary source item you will have (generated with pipeline mentioned above) under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/ binaries associated to the source netbeans-11.3-bin.zip as well as update content under nbms folder under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/11.3/ you will find platform cluster build netbeans-platform-11.3-bin netbeans-platform-11.3-source Associated Apache Maven artefacts RELEASE113 can be found at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenetbeans-1055 Artefacts are composed of jars,nbm,sources,javadocs,pom. -- Apache NetBeans Git Repo tag: 11.3-vc1 : https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/11.3-vc1 Release specific wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+11.3 Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases - see http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps. 1. Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files, except for: - platform/autoupdate.services/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/api/autoupdate/data/ empty.jar - enterprise/glassfish.common/test/unit/data/nottaDir-4_1_2.jar - enterprise/glassfish.common/test/unit/data/subdir/nottaDir-5.0.jar - enterprise/payara.common/test/unit/data/nottaDir-4_1_2.jar - enterprise/payara.common/test/unit/data/subdir/nottaDir-5.0.jar which are only jars by their name 3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file 4. Build it using the README provided by the artefact. 5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process and try running it. In addition to checking the sources, you should check the associated convenience binary zips and nbms at the artefact links above. As well as checking any artefact functions correctly, you should check that it has been correctly signed by a PMC member, and that the source being voted on is sufficient to build the relevant binary. Separate votes will be held on other convenience binaries, mostly for each installer. Those will be dependent on this vote passing. This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and -1 as usual. (please justify -1) Please mark your vote with (binding) if you're an Apache NetBeans PMC member to help with voting admin. NetBeans 11.3 will be released if and when this vote passes. Thank all contributors for hard work ! Best Regards, Eric
