I think that GitHub discussions are mainly focus On things once they have been submitted for acceptance and in the case of PR discussion are more like “code review” type discussion I think that JIRA Discussions were more discussions leading up to the resolution of this issue and identifying ana

Anyone know where the JIRA plugin is? I believe its not migrated yet, so thought it might be part of the 8.2 update center but I cant see it. Any idea where it is, or where the sources might be? Regards John

I like the idea with the Mentors. Sometimes, when I want to fix an self created issue by my own, I don’t know whom to ask. And everytime asking the whole mailing list, seems not that great I thinl. My 2 cents. Still what is missing for Hacktoberfest, that NetBeans will shown on the list is, tha

Well tools JIRA vs GitHub could be a side discussion though as you might noticed, I'm mostly a JIRA guy. I use the following dashboard: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12332552 And from time to time, check the recent issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/se

Maybe GitHub could be used to handle support request and jira could be used for code issues. What needs to be done is to handle the wrong issues to the right place. And some exchange approach. Am 12. August 2019 18:24:22 MESZ schrieb Geertjan Wielenga : >Let's stay focused on the topic of the

Often times the issue filler has no knowledge or time to actually fix anything. In an ideal world they would provide patches but it's not possible. (Not to mention I had a ton of patches grow stale in the Oracle Bugzilla so even a patch doesn't do much actually). Maybe we need a NetBUG program sim

Let's stay focused on the topic of the thread, feel free to start new threads if you have some other topic to discuss. The problem identified thus far is that we're discussing here, on GitHub, and in JIRA. That is suboptimal. It is also difficult to know how to prioritize issues in this way. Ho

Chris, thank you for your reply! I think I may be on to something. I've checked the project properties of the NetBeans Build System and in Java Sources Classpath it had "JDK 12 (Default)" selected for Java Platform. I changed it to JDK 1.8 and the build worked! However doing so has changed n

This sounds like a population density issue. A friend of mine opines that NB has had its day and the Java world has moved on to Eclipse mostly. If one has a big open source project and not enough folks are hacking on it, it starts to shrink. That's sort of happening to OpenBSD. On Mon, Aug 12,

If you have the project open in NetBeans, right click on the root of the project, go to Properties and in the tree ensure you have the correct JDK in the Compile leaf and that the Sources match at least 1.7 but go for 1.8. You should be able to build 11.x on anything >=8 but I would try just 8 w
