Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Build it using the README provided by the artifact. 3. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process. 4. Run the NetBeans executable and (if you're running on JDK 8) you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms, and (if you're running on JDK 9), you'll be able to use javac directly from JDK 9 and, optionally, you'll be prompted to install nb-javac, after agreeing to its licensing terms. If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up, you will have a development environment that complies with Apache IP requirements and you should vote +1 in this thread. Please try out the package, using the instructions above, and vote! The vote is open for 7 days [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) [ ] 0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release [ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
