Happy new year!

As announced towards the end of last year, we are ending the @netbeans.org mailing lists and web forums:

https://netbeans.org/community/news/show/1646.html

NetBeans is in the process of moving to Apache, the current status can be read in the latest Apache incubator report:

https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/January2018

A lot more work is ahead, though a lot has been done already.

Take note of the following:

• Apache NetBeans mailing lists and how to subscribe/unsubscribe: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
• NetBeans Bugzilla is read-only so please use Apache NetBeans JIRA going forward: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/
• NetBeans update centers are switching from http to https on January 12th, so please go to Tools > Plugins > Settings to manually change URLs to https
• Several items are still pending, i.e., in process to Apache, including the website, Plugin Portal, and Exception Reporter.
• Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 Beta is in process of being released: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+9.0+Beta

Finally, thank you all for your many years of usage and support of NetBeans — we look forward to continuing the NetBeans adventure with you in Apache!

Thanks,

Geertjan & Jirka,
on behalf of the NetBeans community
