[Vote] Release Apache NetBeans 12.6 native installers

[Eric Barboni <sk...@apache.org>]

Hi folks,

 

The first mavenized version of Apache Netbeans native installers are staged
and ready to be voted. (will remplace osuol installers artefacts ) It
includes :

cleaner.exe,

nlw.exe

This is limited to windows and  to only some windows executable of installer
but can later be extended to all remaining os and other executable.

Inclusion in Apache NetBeans is intended by this setup
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5807, basically filtering unzip to
select from mavenzined installer or osuol installer exe.

 

If I understand the process well, at the time NB18 is out with maven
artefact, the nbm-maven-plugin harness should be updated so people using
nbm-maven-plugin could benefit from the changes.

 

 

Changes :

6)

Installer natives are currently taken from version 11. Lots of changes for
windows part from Lars Bruun-Hansen were never ported "live", Peter Hull did
some change recently that could be put "live".
