Hi John,
The problem is that we cannot keep those binaries hosted in the ASF
infrastructure (those old versions are not Apache software, but Oracle's
and even Sun's) and that's why these are hosted in Oracle servers.
Would it be possible for your team to set up a Maven Repository [1] [2]
Mirror [3] to keep those artifacts permanently cached in your hard disks
and under your control? That would allow you to build even if the
repository is taken down (and would speed up builds for you as well).
Kind regards,
Antonio

Quoting:
"""
Some reasons to use a mirror are:
- There is a synchronized mirror on the internet that is geographically
closer and faster
- You want to replace a particular repository with your own internal
repository which you have greater control over
- You want to run a repository manager to provide a local cache to a
mirror and need to use its URL instead

I agree. Please keep those builds/installers or archive them. Some of
our developers still use v8 exclusively for legacy applications and
haven't made the transition to newer versions.

Loads of people do. Please provide a way to easily download what
NetBeans/Oracle plans on deleting and I will back then up somewhere.

Hi all,
Is anybody still using NetBeans 8.2 Maven artifacts? Is there any
interest in keeping those around?
Those old artifacts are being kept in Oracle servers, and could be
decomissioned soon. Is there any interest in keeping them around?
Thanks,
Antonio
