Dear Apache NetBeans community,

The third, and final beta build for Apache NetBeans 12.2 is available.

As per the release schedule, NB 12.2 is a non-LTS release, and will
not have a full NetCAT process. However, feedback and testing from
those on the dev@ and netcat@ lists would still be appreciated,
particularly around new features. Please file issues in JIRA as
necessary, with the affects and fix versions set to 12.2. Please take
note of the Bug Priority Guidelines (link below), in particular so
that we can address critical and blocking issues if they arise.

**The following rules are still applied to the PR-s :**
For fixes, that potentially would be delivered in 12.2:
- Base it from the branch named: delivery
- Mark the milestone as: 12.2
- Please add me (lkishalmi) as an additional reviewer
- API changes are strongly discouraged.

For upcoming features, API/SPI changes, that potentially will be 
released in 12.3:
- Base it on master
- If you feel the PR is ready for 12.3 then mark that milestone
- Add the usual reviewers
- API/SPI changes are fine
- Structural changes (e.g. moving modules between clusters) are 
discouraged. (In order to make the weekly delivery branch merge easy.)

Please do what's needs to be done on the PR reviews either for master or 
the delivery branch. Let the pile burn!

All the open PR-s for 12.2 has been integrated, however two of them 
missed the release train.

- https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2455 Fix: Multiple 
CustomIndexer with same Mime-Type use the priority of the IndexerFactory 
+ Tooltip of columns in result-table
- https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2409 [NETBEANS-4881] 
Automatically detect & list Payara Platform version in the server 
registration panel

The issue which sabotaged most of our Ctrl+<something> has been fixed. 
Give this one a good spin! Report and fix the annoying bugs!

If everything goes right the Next one will be the vote/release candidate 
on 7th of November!
