Apache Netbeans 11 - Building from Source

[Tushar Joshi <tu...@gmail.com>]

Hi Team,

On the site at page
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb110/nb110.html#_building_from_source
the mirror link for downloading the source ZIP refers to incubator

The wording on this page also contains:

Building from source

To build Apache NetBeans (incubating) 11.0 from source you need:

   1.

   Oracle’s Java 8 or Open JDK v8.
   2.

   Apache Ant 1.10 or greater (https://ant.apache.org).

Once you have everything installed then:

   1.

   Unzip incubating-netbeans-11.0-source.zip
   <https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-11.0/incubating-netbeans-11.0-source.zip>
in
   a directory of your liking.
   2.

   cd to that directory, and then run ant to build the Apache NetBeans IDE.
   Once built you can run the IDE by typing ./nbbuild/netbeans/bin/netbeans

I believe that we have to remove this incubator word from this page.  Where
should be the new link point for Apache NetBeans 11 sources?

with regards
Tushar

AFAIK we keep this because we were still in incubation for NB 11.0?!

Best wishes,

Hi Antonio,

After going through your points, I agree on keeping that page as it is.

AFAIK there's no "netbeans-11.0-source.zip" without the "incubator" part 
anywhere in the Apache Mirrors.

Anyway Apache 11.0 was released when NetBeans was still in the Apache 
Incubator, so I don't see why the "incubator" prefix has to be removed.

I think that the Apache Incubator Project is one of the greatests 
achievements of the ASF. A place where people can learn and grow to 
become full fledged Apache TLP projects. I'm grateful to the Apache 
Incubator Project for having helped us during the last years.

In my mind having "incubator" in NetBeans 11.0 is a Great Thing, 
something to be proud of, and not having it in 12.0 is also a great 
thing, a signal we're big enough to break things ourselves!

Kind regards,
Antonio
