Ate, could we get a vote on this release?
Sure :-)
If you look at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+RC1 we
are already making progress on the (non-blocking) issues reported.
Yes, thanks for creating the follow-up issues to address the reported
issues.
With those tickets and the explanation given on my first question
I'm now +1 on this release candidate.
I would like to add that I agree with Justin that, while it might not be
a ASF policy issue to have a GPL license file in the distribution, I
also don't see how it serves any purpose and only will trigger
unnecessary warnings or worries by users or checker tools.
My recommendation is to get rid of those GPL license files.
Regards,
Ate

I'm inclined to vote positive on this RC1, overall looks great!
- verified the MD5 and SHA1, and PGP signatures with the ASC files.
- executed rat check (ant rat) and verified the report.
- build and run the source (using JDK8), and all seems fine.
However I still have two questions:
a) nbbuild/licenses folder still has the GPL license file, which I
thought/expected no longer should be needed with the fix from
NETBEANS-305 [1]?
Is there still a GPL usage left? If so this then could be a blocker IMO.
b) Justin provided detailed feedback on the 9.0-Beta-RC3 on (possible)
needed improvements/fixes for the binary dist LICENSE/NOTICE file [2],
thereafter recorded as a todo action list on the wiki [3] (end of page).
Some of those points have been addressed (marked DONE), but many/most
are not, and neither resolved/fixed (or otherwise marked as NVT).
As just an example, Justin noticed for the ./ide/modules/ext/smackx.jar
file that it included the BSD licensed JZlib, which wasn't mentioned in
the LICENSE file. And still isn't for this 9.0-RC1.
I don't think any of those are blockers, but it would be good to address
these (create NETBEANS issues for them) before the final 9.0 release.

Hi all,
The Apache NetBeans community has voted on and approved a proposal to release
Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) rc1.
We now kindly request that the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this
incubator release candidate.
Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) vote thread:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/c2a06adc83e2819e6d96c7dff8d0e22a97001f99bfda12515d4d9609@<dev.netbeans.apache.org>
Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) vote result thread:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/94f7a5e4601e26c7edb8264df7df53dd8ed215ecfc568816a162f2af@<dev.netbeans.apache.org>
Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) constitutes all the modules in the Apache
NetBeans Git repo, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the
underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the
Java SE-related features of Apache NetBeans.
In short, Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1 (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE
development.
Build artifacts available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1
The specific artifact to be voted on:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-rc1-source.zip
Included in the above are the DEPENDENCIES, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, and NOTICE
files, as well as a README file with build instructions, which are the same as
these:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/README.md
SHA1: a1a265455c8246f849b14982fa3c36b351b21876
KEYS file:

Apache NetBeans Git Repo tag: 9.0-rc1-rc1:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/tree/9.0-rc1-rc1
Note: NetBeans license violation checks are managed via the rat-exclusions.txt
file:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/rat-exclusions.txt
Rat report shows no unknown licenses, except for license files:
https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-netbeans-release/302/artifact/rat-java-temp/nbbuild/build/rat-report.txt
The license files listed in the Rat report are known and an issue exists for
solving this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-305
Included as a convenience binary, not relevant for the voting purposes (unzip
it, run it and you'll see Apache NetBeans):
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-rc1-bin.zip
Also included as a convenience binary the NBMs:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-rc1-rc1/nbms
New & Noteworthy features of the 9.0 Release:

Release specific wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+RC1
How (and what) to try out the release:
1. 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...
