Hi all, Could a consensus solution be that for all JDK 8 - compatibility related items, any/all work related to that, we assign those issues to Svata -- and we try this for one release and see how that goes? If it fails, then in the release after that, we should all then have consensus to move awa

Well, there is no hatred here, it is a heated debate. It's just beyond my understanding that people with 20+ years of software development experience don't see branching as a viable option. It seems we could not have convinced some of us on our proposal, that's sad. I'm getting tired of this deb

Just to be clear, there is no "hate" on my part. I know the "tone" is hard to communicate via email. I just disagree that Java 8 support should continue in the main codebase. When I suggest that a Java 8 compatible fork is how to proceed, I wish you all the best of success with it. If you have t

What is actually the JDK 8 exit strategy of those who vetoed? Since so far none was given. options:  a) there is none, the NetBeans project ends when JDK 8 ends (or before that; this would explain frgaal etc)  b) NetBeans waits until JDK 8 ends, and is then migrated in big bang fashion to JDK
