Dear all,
The Apache NetBeans community has voted on and approved a proposal to release
Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating) [vc3].
We now kindly request that the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this
incubator release candidate.
Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating) constitutes all but the enterprise cluster 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, PHP, JavaScript and Groovy features of Apache NetBeans.
In short, Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating) is a full IDE for Java SE and PHP,
JavaScript development with some Groovy language support.

How (and what) to try out the release:
1. Download the artifact to be voted on and unzip it.
2. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file
3. Build it using the README provided by the artifact.
4. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build
process.
5. 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. As this is our
first multi purpose (Java SE, PHP, JS, Groovy) release, some features has to be
enabled in Tools > Plugins > Installed tab, or get's automatically enabled on
first use of a feature.
If the above succeeds, i.e., Apache NetBeans installs and starts up vote +1 in
this thread.
Please try out the package, using the instructions above, and vote!
This vote is open for 5 days.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NetBeans 10.0 (incubating)
[ ] 0 I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okay with the release
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
