I see. Unfortunate, but harmless from the "Maven use-case" point of view. Without Maven artifacts released, there is no way to explore the new API classes.

Is it? All I see in the proposal is: > The main NetBeans repository would be included as a sub-module. > The submodule with main NetBeans source code is changed to checkout a specific hash from the main NetBeans repository. I am not sure how to interpret the last sentence. Particularly I have no idea what is meant by "specific hash"? It can mean anything... Can you add a section to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/ VSNetBeans+Repository+and+Updated+Releases describing how compatibility with official NetBeans Maven artifacts will be achieved? Thank you in advance for maintaining compatibility between NetBeans IDE and VSCode extension in the future! -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
