I have to say that although I don't have the Java required to make much of a contribution in the way of code, when I do find a project I'd like to work on, those pages of open bugs are the first place I look for some way to get up to speed on contributing. They might look like they're being ignored, but they're a great resource for people who want to get involved.

Besides, I'm always hopeful that some new contributor will pick up an issue I created, resulting in some minor irritation being magically fixed in the next release.

At the same time, I've had Ty's experience, although not with Netbeans. It's disappointing to see a issue tagged wontfix / closed without even a comment years after it was filed.

Have a nice day. :-)

    Here's where you do that:
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS


    I'll be honest, unless I'm confident that someone is actually
    going to fix the bug I don't usually report them. It's not worth
    my time, or the people who will inevitably do janitor work by
    closing ignored bug reports, to file these. There are already 5(or
    more) pages so it doesn't exactly stir confidence that anyone is
    fixing them.


    Which, to be clear, is fine. I'm not making a big stink here and
    demanding anyone fix anything. I'm just saying that it's not worth
    anyone's time if there is no interest in it nor is it worth create
    yet another account online in which may have a data breach in the
    future.


    Anyway, I've signed up and filed, which you commented on:

        Bit of a PSA for those that don't build the
        in-development(15, right
        now) from source, Modular Ant based projects WILL NOT
        compile, failing on:


        Unable to create javax script engine for javascript


        which then points to:


        <j2semodularproject1:modsource_regexp
        
xmlns:j2semodularproject1="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/j2se-modular-project/1";

        modsource="${test.src.dir.path}"
        property="have.tests.test.src.dir.regexp"/>


        I'm guessing this has something to do with Nashorn's removal
        since
        building spams the console with deprecation and removal
        warnings for it
        in previous JDK builds. Non modular Ant based projects seem
        to still
        compile, at least compiling a newly created project still works.


        Guess it's time to move to Maven...


        And no, Netbeans 12 doesn't make a difference.
