Hi Neil, sorry for late jump in the conversation. We use the platform zip as a starting point for our platform based applications. We are building by source in a separate network, not connected to the internet. It is convenient have the platform as separate clear isolated zip, so we have not

Drop them. I do care about NetBeans Platform, but people who use it shall use Maven artifacts to begin with these days. If they really want a ZIP distribution, they can download IDE and keep just the platform cluster. -jt Dne čtvrtek 20. října 2022 12:28:16 CET, Neil C Smith napsal(a): > Hi
