[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-5064) Support for specific NB (feature release) versions

["Eric Bresie (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17487147#comment-17487147 ] 

Eric Bresie commented on NETBEANS-5064:
---------------------------------------

May be a little tangent here but thinking from a build dependency management perspective here...

In maven projects used during build/compile time, the specific dependencies can be spelled out in the pom and when building it pulls down from the remote repositories as needed.  

Is it conceivable to have similar "dependency management" for plugin which when needing a specific nbm version, pull that down and allow usage?  

Assume there would be the platform versions of nb dependencies available and then a secondary nb dependencies (maybe in .m2 local repository) to leverage whenever using the given plugin. 

Or am I completely misunderstanding the problem here?

> Maybe, currently, URLs for feature versions(e.g. 12.1) are redirected to the URL for the LTS(e.g. 12.0) version, right?
> That has a problem. We can't use an nbm of the LTS version if a feature version has incompatible changes.
> There are incompatible changes for PHP support in NetBeans 12.2. So, some plugins related to PHP don't work any longer in 12.2 with the nbm for 12.0. 
> So, I have to provide nbms for 12.2. However, we can't add them to PP at the moment. So, I have to upload them to another place(e.g. GitHub).
> It would be nice for users/developers if we can add nbms for specific versions. OTOH, it may be hard work for verifiers(/developers) to verify(/add) them...
> e.g. Although I'm not sure whether it is possible, if there is no nbm of specific versions, it would be nice to be able to use nbms of LTS versions.
