Oracle was supposed to also transfer to Apache the Akamai datasets holding all the previous releases but I'm not certain what the status is with that idea. Would be a shame if all that data were deleted. I would gladly buy some hard drives for a copy. Although the most important is 8.2 really. Pr

Yes, if anyone can achieve this it will be Robert, Apache Maven PMC Chair. :-) Would be a great way for Maven and NetBeans to work together.

Hi Robert, I'd recommend to start with platform/openide.util.lookup - the code for it does not have any dependencies, the group of its test dependencies is fairly small and self-contained, and the resulting jar is useful by itself. It also shows what Lazslo mentioned - a semi-circular dependency i

Hi Boris, Sorry for delay. The first pack we are looking for is Chinese. Thanks for the details about the required steps. That will help us to look at it and (if possible) contribute. Cheers, Yann On 2019/07/21 13:48:49, Boris Heithecker wrote: > Hi Yann, > which locale/language are you interes

If you have the courage, then go for it! Though I think it is currently far beyond what Maven can do, especially concerning some circular dependencies between modules on test configuration. Maven is simply not flexible enough for the Job. I have a branch to have the NetBeans work with Gradle a

With internal dependencies I mean: jars that are also part of Netbeans. I'd like to start with those parts of the project that doesn't have any Netbeans dependencies. If Netbeans has some jars with only APIs, those might be interesting parts to start with. Robert On Mon, 02 Sep 2019 23:37:1

What do you mean by least amount of internal dependencies? Both Ant and Maven are supported out of the box, no dependencies or plugins from outside NetBeans are needed. Gj On Mon, 2 Sep 2019 at 23:24, Robert Scholte wrote: > Hi, > > this month I'll be giving a training about Maven. The last pa

Hi, this month I'll be giving a training about Maven. The last part of the session I want to use to transform existing projects to Maven. Since Netbeans is still using Ant, it might be an interesting experiment to see if this project can ALSO be built with Maven. To increase the chance of suc

Not from Apache, no, we'll need to put them somewhere, maybe here: http://netbeans.osuosl.org/binaries/ And then point to those locations from netbeans.apache.org. So long as the binaries are not physically on netbeans.apache.org, we're free to point to them wherever they are. Only source files a

Yes, of course the old NetBeans site should and will be shutdown. Right now, already, when you're on the front page, everything links to netbeans.apache.org. As soon as we have the Plugin Portal redone and running on netbeans.apache.org, netbeans.org will be shutdown and netbeans.apache.org will be

When it was brought to my attention it was suggested that we should shut down the old NetBeans site. I pointed out that the older versions can't be hosted on Apache as they contain some components that are not Apache safe. Is this the correct assumption for why we (royal we) haven’t moved the ol
