please read first:

and
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4696
After that please reevaluate your absolute statement or explain how
else users of SwingX should be supported.
Let's also not let this conversation be steered by a false prospectus.
NetBeans 15 is the only release we've had so far where implementation
dependencies could even be supported in our infrastructure. IIRC,
NB 9 and 10 - shared plugin catalog.
NB 11.0 - 11.3 - shared plugin catalog.
NB 12.0 - 12.6 - shared plugin catalog.
NB 13 and 14 - shared plugin catalog.
right. Catalog sharing happened already a few times which created a
similar scenario as the proposed one.
there could be even some load distribution:
1) Matthias' tooling is used to notify all maintainers about a new release
2) maintainers are asked to test their plugins during the RC phase and
press request verification if it is compatible
now the auto-verification part:
3) If the plugin has been successfully verified 1-2 releases before,
the system will automatically convert the request into a verification
The assumption here is that most plugins will just work (positive bias).
But a small number will be filtered out over time (with the option to
come back). Active maintainers (like the ones from the PRs Matthias
linked) will also know best if a plugin remains compatible or not and if
it requires an update.
Ideally this would also reduce the workload of the plugin verifiers.
best regards,
michael
