Yep, I've just received a private email answering my question @nbusers,
requesting to keep the old repository for a commercial product, since
they're not ready to upgrade to the latest Apache NetBeans versions.
In order to not interrupt their businesses I can think of two possible
solutions:
To be blunt, *really* not our problem! The relationship is between
them and Oracle, not us. They should have had a backup plan for this
a long time ago, and the best thing they could do to not interrupt
their business might be to get involved in developing solutions for
others in their position, not send you private emails?!
Well, there's no problem in us writing a blog entry explaining how to
set up a Maven repository proxy or a local maven repository [1]. After
all it's us that are redirecting this and providing this service.
Regarding the private email: I imagine this is a "Reply" instead of
"Reply All" situation, so no worries there.
a grace period until
Sept. 1st and then we drop the repository. I think this is the solution
the Apache NetBeans Team should choose.
+1, assuming Oracle will keep it up until then?
Definitely. I have no idea what Oracle plans/dates are, but I recall
reading somewhere that all this was expected during 2020. So the sooner
we move and explain people the suggested plan to proceed, the better for
everybody.
Kind regards,
Antonio
