I think the concern comes from our discussion on whether it was time to drop support for Java editing on JDK 8, which was part of removing the nb-javac requirement and code. I'm still in favour of doing that, without dropping support for building and running as a whole on JDK 8 in the process. We could also migrate by cluster to later JDKs as and when needed? With Java first and platform last? > #2 - I feel as well that the versioning scheme should be fixed somehow. > The current scheme is confusing, unfortunately changing the current > scheme just a little would be more confusing.

I'm still good with that, but it lost the vote at the time - https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a6b708b683f56849e1b1110ca17237b752ad635f48705049d1e96908%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E It would also be good to know nothing in our infrastructure would have a problem with it. Without trying to be I-told-you-so, I abstained from that vote for the reasons mentioned here and in the follow up reply - https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/37b928f63182a9a58410a41caf20efa536537f03635822c922bef68a%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E We chose a version scheme before we agreed the release schedule and what each release might include. I remain of the opinion that was backwards! :-) So, yes, maybe time to reconsider. > #4 - That's true, probably we can set up some process to decide what can > and cannot go into the platform.

I still think we'd be better looking at svgSalamander, given option to use in FlatLaf and that Karl appears to now be maintaining it. https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/tree/master/flatlaf-extras https://github.com/JFormDesigner/svgSalamander Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
