+
+
+Apache NetBeans (incubating) 11.0 is the third major release of the Apache NetBeans IDE. It was released in March, 2019. link:/download/nb110/nb110.html[Click here to download] this release. link:https://netbeans.apache.org/community/who.html#_laszlo_kishalmi[Laszlo Kishalmi] has been our Release Manager.
+
+////
+To display a feature do as follows:
+
+Add a header title, and an anonymous asciidoc block (--) with the ".feature" metadata, and write text inside the block:
+
+== A title here
+[.feature]
+--
+This is a feature
+--
+
+You can add images to the feature by adding a png file along with the document, and adding a image: construct to the text.
+
+Use role="left" for left alignment or role="right" for right alignment.
+
+Examples:
+
+== An amazing feature
+[.feature]
+--
+Here goes some text
+
+image:nb90-module-info.png[Adding module-info.java, title="Adding module-info.java", role="left", link="nb90-module-info.png"]
+
+And some more text
+
+image:nb90-module-info-completion.png[Autocompletion in module-info.java, title="Autocompletion in module-info.java", role="right", link="nb90-module-info-completion.png"]
+
+And even some more
+--
+
+Note: When rendered into HTML, the images will automatically be wrapped around 'colorbox', so that they're enlarged when clicked.
+
+////
+
+== Maven First in New Project Wizard
+
+[.feature]
+--
+There's been lots of discussion in the Apache NetBeans Community about how best
+to express the fact that Apache Maven and Apache Gradle are more modern choices
+to be aware of than Apache Ant, while at the same time not implying that
+there's anything wrong with using Apache Ant.
+
+image::nb11-new-project.png[The new 'New Project' dialog, title="New Project dialog", role="left"]
+
+Discussions link:https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/1038[started back in 2018],
+and link:https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/1115[culminated in 2019]
+with the new "New Project" wizard redesign.
+
+We have moved the previous wizard Java options to a subfolder named "Java with Ant", and added
+two new options: "Java with Maven" and "Java with Gradle". We hope this makes it easier for everybody to choose a build system of their liking
+(be it Maven, Gradle or Ant) for their projects.
+
+For more information about the discussion and the rationale behind
+these choices please see link:https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/restructuring-of-project-templates-in[this blog post].

+
+== JDK 12 support
+
+=== nb-javac upgrade
+
+As you may know, the Apache NetBeans IDE can use a special variation of a Java
+compiler called link:https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-nb-javac-in[nb-javac], that
+greatly improves the Java support. This `nb-javac` tool (which is not an Apache
+Project as it's released under the GPL license) has been improved to support advanced
+JDK 12 features.
+
+Apache NetBeans Team Members
+link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=arunava.sinha[Arunava Sinha],
+link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sakeshar[Sarvesh Kesharwani],
+and link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=vikas.prabhakar[Vikas Kumar Prabhakar]
+have made a
+link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=labels%20%3D%20NB-JDK12[heroic effort] to integrate Apache NetBeans
+with this latest release of `nb-javac`.
+
+=== Switch improvements
+
+The `switch` expression handling has been greatly improved in this release.
+Better formatting, better re-indentation, better syntax-highlighting,
+better hints and better auto-completion.
+
+==== Autocompletion
+
+You can now autocomplete enum values in switch statements:
+
+image:switch-autocomplete.png[]
+
+==== JEP-325: Switch Expressions (Preview)
+
+We now have link:http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/325[JEP-325] support. In order to enable
+JEP-325 (and other preview features) follow these instructions:
+
+1. Goto `Project > Properties`
+2. Goto `Build > Compiling pane` and add `--enable-preview` in "Additional Compiler Options".
+3. Goto `Run` pane and add `--enable-preview` in VM Options
+
+NOTE: `--enable-preview` does not work in Maven projects in Apache NetBeans 11 as of yet, but the
+link:https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/1173[issue is being tracked here].
+
+==== Converting switch-cases to rule kind cases
+
+There's a new hint to convert switch-cases to rule kind classes. For instance, in this scenario:
+
+image:jep-325-hint-1.jpg[]
+
+if you choose the hint the result will be:
+
+image:jep-325-hint-2.jpg[]
+
+That's cleaner, right?
+
+==== And more
+
+See link:+https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=103091452+[our wiki] for more
+improvements to the `switch` expression.
+
+== Java EE support
+
+We have been busy in the last months
+link:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/2nd+Donation%3A+List+of+Modules+to+Review[reviewing the licenses of the enterprise cluster],
+that was included in the second donation from Oracle. The review has now ended
+(after link:https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+%22Module+review%22[lots of pull requests])
+and we have included this cluster in Apache NetBeans 11.0.
+
+This means that you can now build JavaEE applications with Ant, Maven or Gradle projects.
+
+NOTE: Explicit support of Java EE 8 is not currently part of Apache NetBeans 11.0. Also, JavaEE 8
+only runs on JDK 8, not on later releases, and so if you 're doing development with JavaEE 8 it's
+best to run NetBeans itself on JDK 8.
+
+NOTE: In order to comply with the Apache License we had to drop support for JBoss 4,
+WebLogic 9 and the module `websvc.switmodellext` had to be dropped as well.
+
+== Gradle Support
+
+[.feature]

+
+In late December, 2018, Apache NetBeans Team Member link:https://netbeans.apache.org/community/who.html#_laszlo_kishalmi[Laszlo Kishalmi]
+kindly donated link:https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/netbeans-dev/201812.mbox/%3Cade97a90-84c9-c566-b23a-9c5ccf40ec2f%40gmail.com%3E[his Gradle works to Apache NetBeans].
+
+image::gradle-navigator.png[Navigation of gradle build script, title="Navigating the gradle build script", role="left"]
+
+Since then he has been steadily link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20NETBEANS%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22projects%20-%20Gradle%22%20and%20status%20!%3D%20Open[working very hard]
+to solve many issues and doing improvements.
+
+As a result you can now:
+
+- open gradle projects more efficiently,
+- you can run gradle tasks by double clicking them on the navigator pane,
Review comment:
Gradle Task Navigator, run tasks by double-click.
