Hi all, According to our roadmap[1], we're releasing Apache NetBeans 11.0 in support of JDK 12, the integration of the 'enterprise' cluster, and the introduction of out-of-the-box Gradle support in March.
However, the voting process took a bit longer than anticipated and more discussion was needed than had been planned. Nevertheless, the vote has succeeded[2]. During this week, the final bits will be put together and uploaded and announced. We're also working on documentation and there'll be a range of small YouTube clips. As those of you who have been following the process will be aware, the process has been complex and it has been a challenge to meet a variety of expectations simultaneously. We appreciate your patience -- and we are very proud in particular of having worked together to integrate the 'enterprise' cluster, which continues the process of landing NetBeans solidly within Apache. Take a look at our nice neat GitHub repo[3], we are very proud of it. A very special and warm word of congratulation to our tireless release manager Laszlo Kishalmi who, amazingly, not only pushed the release along, but also provided out-of-the-box integration with Gradle, which is simply awesome. The next big step will be to discuss becoming a top level project, which we have put off a bit while the Apache NetBeans 11.0 release process was ongoing. We have done all the many bits and pieces already to comply with becoming a top level project, we will formalize this via a discussion thread here, with the official resolution, and we'll then take it to the IPMC for discussion and voting. Thanks again, all!
