This is our first voting candidate for the release of Apache NetBeans 16-u1.
Please note all requirements below for validating sources and
convenience binaries (nbm-s) before voting.
If the voting passes, the release binaries (nbm-s) would be distributed
directly on our NetBeans 16 Update Center.
There are no other binaries planned for this release.
Apache NetBeans 16-u1 contains only two module updates:
- org.netbeans.modules.gradle
- org.netbeans.modules.gradle.java

Voting Requirements
Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code
package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on
your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets
the requirements of the ASF policy on releases -
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management
In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps.
1. Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it.
2. Check that the artifact does not contain any jar files (there are
branding folders with the name *.jar).
3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file
4. Build it using the README provided by the artifact.
5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the
build process and try running it.
In addition to checking the sources, you should check the associated
convenience binary nbms by try to import them into an existing NetBeans
16 IDE.
Being a patch release, there would be *no separate voting* for the
convenience binaries (nbms).
This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and
-1 as usual. (Please justify -1)
Please mark your vote with (binding) only if you're an Apache NetBeans
PMC member to help with voting admin.
Only respond if you are going to vote, i.e., this is NOT a discussion
thread.
Apache NetBeans 16-u1 will be released if and when this vote passes.
Thank you to all contributors for all your hard work!
Best wishes,
Laszlo Kishalmi
Neil, Eric thanks for the guidance!
