Please vote and/or file bugs!
So far we have no blocker issues, though only a few of you've voted. One
more binding vote is required for release, though the more votes the better.
I do not know if the Release Manager can cast a vote, but that would be +1.
I have the feeling that we do not have to cut another VC in this cycle,
so if everything goes right, I'm going to Release Apache NetBeans 10.0
at the end of this week.

Hi all,
Please vote on releasing Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating)!
If this voting candidate passes, another similar voting will be started
ongene...@incubator.apache.org, and if that passes too, then we can release
this version. This build will also undergo validation through NetCAT.
Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating) constitutes all but the enterprise cluster in
the Apache NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform
(i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that
provide the Java SE, PHP, JavaScript and Groovy features of Apache NetBeans.
In short, Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE and PHP,
JavaScript development with some Groovy language support.
Build artifacts available here:

Included in the above are the DEPENDENCIES, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, and NOTICE
files, as well as a README file with build instructions, which are the same as
these:

Included as a convenience binary, not relevant for the voting purposes (unzip
it, run it and you'll see Apache NetBeans):

Release specific wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+10
How (and what) to try out the release:
1. Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it.
2. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file
3. Build it using the README provided by the artifact.
4. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build
process.
If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up vote +1 in
this thread.
Note that according
tohttp://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval :
Before casting +1 binding votes, individuals are REQUIRED to download all
signed source code packages onto their own hardware, verify that they meet
all requirements of ASF policy on releases as described below, validate all
cryptographic signatures, compile as provided, and test the result on their
own platform.
Please try out the package, using the instructions above, and vote!
The vote is open for a minimum of 72 hours or until the necessary
number of votes (3 binding +1s) is reached.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating)
[ ] 0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
Please add "(binding)" if your vote is binding, i.e., you are an
Apache NetBeans PPMC member, i.e., your name is on this page:
http://home.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#netbeans , although
note the only real binding votes in the incubator are those of the
IPMC, i.e., in the next vote thread, after this one passes.
