> Key: NETBEANS-5109
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5109
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java - Compiler
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Matthias Bläsing
> Priority: Blocker

> The ASF has a pretty clear opinion about the handling of the GPLv2-CPE. There might be an option to distribute it, but not out of the box. After the transition of NetBeans from oracle to the ASF there was a timeframe were use of the Oregon State University was ok, as the transition was happening. I think we stretched that limit to the max and thus I consider this a blocker for the next release. The nbjavac needs to be moved of ASF controlled infrastructure.
> There are various options:
> - Oracle could publish nbjavac to maven central
> - Oracle could provide a custom updatecenter distributing the nbjavac
> - Oracle could relicense javac
> - Apache NetBeans could switch to the eclipse java development tools
> Not all of these options are realistic, but publishing to maven central is perfectly doable.
> I'll mark this as a blocker for next release, so it is not ignored.
