Hi all, We're getting closer to the code donation, i.e., during next week the NetBeans code written to support Java 9 will be frozen. At that point, the new code written, i.e., since when the code audit started, will begin to be reviewed.
A question I have, now that the code is getting closer to being donated, and I know this has been discussed, though let's discuss again in light of everything becoming more concrete: the binaries. At Apache, source code is released. What needs to become clearer is how (1) we can get from source to binaries and (2) where we can make those binaries available? I imagine someone from the Apache NetBeans community will check out Apache NetBeans sources, do a build, and then upload the binaries for the different operating systems somewhere. I guess where that location is is up to us, so long as it is not at Apache. Are there examples of how others have done this -- and can we link/promote those binaries in some way? We've discussed this before, though let's discuss it again, to get everything cleared up about this. Thanks, Gj
