Hi, I will be looking after our reporting to the OpenJDK Quality Outreach on the results of testing NetBeans with new versions of Java. As has been discussed, it is NetCAT testing outcomes that could be reported.
When I looked at the NetCAT page it ends at version 9 but when you select 12 the number of test categories is much shorter. I could use some guidance in interpreting the information here. This email chain expresses concern over the fact that NetCAT is so labour intensive and is not as up to date as it should be. If there is something I can contribute to help with this then let me know.

That's why I'm suggesting something less formal. Who is going to keep the test specs updated? If the answer is "no one", then they are useless. These test specs are non-trivial; you can see them here: https://synergy.netbeans.apache.org/#/specifications -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."
