I know I did vote, but I don't remember seeing the announcement of the final bits. Anyway the "NBCode" effort is nothing new, it builds on the previous and heroic work of Jan Lahoda. The major topic for the currently prepared changes is to add debugging support.

Right, it is not a dead code. Not only the extension is released from time to time, it's build is also part of Travis validation: https://travis-ci.org/ github/apache/netbeans/jobs/733967542 Laszlo asked: > My question would be: What is in this contribution for NetBeans? Better code. Contributions of skilled engineers like Svatopluk Dědic: https:// github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2424, Martin Entlicher, Dušan Bálek and others. Classical NetBeans IDE can benefit from better debugging support, more robust Maven behavior, improved Java hints, etc. That's the kind of code which is going to be shared.

When you install "Java Language Extension" (by Microsoft) you are also prompted to install the work done by RedHat. Quite a nice publicity. Wouldn't you want to see a "Java Editing Support by Apache NetBeans" in there as well? Matthias counted: > but I see 171 commits I shared my branch just to show the amount of changed files. Otherwise it is a dirty history with many trial and error attempts. We don't plan to merge that branch. Neil wanted to know: > who exactly is contributing this Individual members of the Apache NetBeans project, of course. Sváťa proposed a PR yesterday. I prepared one PR today. Martin is going to prepare his debugger PR soon. I will prepare the final PR for `java.lsp.server` next week. We'll see how the reviews go. -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
