Dear community, This is our first voting candidate for the 12.0 LTS 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 12.0 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/12.0/vc1 https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/12.0/vc1 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/release120/23 We are primarily voting on: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/12.0/vc1/netbeans-1 2.0-source.zip SHA512: f172579f4d1e5bef3631c974d232c193e40739c40dc4f6d3d0f9b746d6c7fdb90b871b327487 f39bade66840650e0d594970066ae4e0625d75d4584ecb6c1a70 ./netbeans-12.0-source.zip KEYS file: https://downloads.apache.org/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/12.0/vc1 binaries associated to the source netbeans-12.0-bin.zip as well as update content under nbms folder *under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-platform/12.0/vc1 you will find platform cluster build netbeans-platform-12.0-bin netbeans-platform-12.0-source Associated Apache Maven artefacts RELEASE120 can be found at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenetbeans-1058 Artefacts are composed of jars,nbm,sources,javadocs,pom. -- Apache NetBeans Git Repo tag: 12.0-vc1 : https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/12.0-vc1 Release specific wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+12.0 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 12.0 will be released if and when this vote passes. Thank all contributors for hard work !
