I am hung up here due to dependencies, specifically spi.java.hints dependency on byte-buddy, needing lombok, the problem package. https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/tree/master/spi.java.hints spi.java.hints is pretty core to all Java editor features, code completion, help, javadoc, etc. Thus preventing further progress there till I can get around issues. To build byte-buddy from source, including all deps. You need lombok. To package lombok from source you need some 70+ Eclipse libraries from Eclipse IDE... I had both packaged, but Lombok has issues with Java 9 blocking byte-buddy build under Java 9. Which may have its own issues. https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/issues/1562 I have opened a issue on byte-buddy requesting they use something other than Lombok, maybe Google AutoValue. You can see the eclipse deps. I have experimented a bit with porting byte-buddy from lombok to autovalue, without success thus no PR. https://github.com/raphw/byte-buddy/issues/397 Really not ideal when building Netbeans dependencies from source to need stuff from Eclipse. Netbeans Git support also comes from Eclipse. Though Eclipse JGit does not have that many dependencies. That is minor. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/dev-java/netbeans-git/netbeans-git-9999.ebuild#L9 One optional thing I packaged for Local Tasks, It also brings in a BUNCH of eclipse stuff... I think some 30+ eclipse packages. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/dev-java/netbeans-localtasks/netbeans-localtasks-9999.ebuild#L10 https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/dev-java/eclipse-mylyn-tasks-core/eclipse-mylyn-tasks-core-9999.ebuild Not sure people are aware of the Eclipse dependencies to building Netbeans. Most are indirect deps of byte-buddy/lombok. If byte-buddy switches from Lombok, that will resolve a bunch of those. If not may need to see if there is alternative to byte-buddy for spi.java.hints. Just leaving localtasks, which maybe ok to have ~30 or so Eclipse dependencies. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
