Hi, I have learned that while we were listed on the OpenJDK Quality Outreach wiki page, we never received any correspondence because thee was uncertainty over who was the point of contact. This despite the fact that Geertjan appears as the point of contact in the wiki.
I have asked Rory to replace Geertjan with me. I have asked him to better describe how they want reporting and what their colour coding means. To me the wiki just lists projects that are actively testing against JDKs, doing some testing, and no one is sure if testing is going on. The colour coding is not about whether it works. What I think the wiki wants from us is that we can show that we are actively testing which versions NetBeans will compile under a specific JDK and that it functions under that JDK. Once I get more clarification I share it with the list.

I'd like to point out that Geertjan is listed on the wiki page https:// wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/quality/Quality+Outreach > Apache Netbeans Geertjan Wielenga > Use OpenJDK 12 EA b26 Phase 2 or higher and OpenJDK 11.0.2 as an Apache NetBeans contact providing feedback since JDK11! Given Geertjan isn't even aware of being part of the OpenJDK Quality Outreach program, we can estimate the importance of the program. However having Ken as an official NetBeans representative is certainly better, than not being there at all.

NetBeans blogging and social media campaign started the same week as JEP 411 was published. Participation in any public forum couldn't speed the reaction up.

Well, create a PR for OpenJDK then! Overall I doubt participation in OpenJDK Quality Outreach forum can dramatically improve anything. Direct action is what counts: be it buzz over JEP-411 or submitting PRs for OpenJDK to make NetBeans work better (like https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/3939). Anyway having a channel to talk to OpenJDK is better for Apache NetBeans, than not having it. Good luck, Ken! Don't forget to update the wiki. -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
