Voting Requirementsrequirements

Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code
package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on
your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets
the requirements of the ASF policy on releases -
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management

In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps.

1. Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it.
2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files (there are
branding folders with the name *.jar).
3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file
4. Build it using the README provided by the artefact.
5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by
the build process and try running it.

In addition to checking the sources, you shouldmay check the associated
convenience binary zipszip, installers, nbms and maven staging at the artefact links
above. You are not expected to check every convenience binary.

As well as checking any artefact functions correctly, you
should check that it has been correctly signed by a PMC member, and
that the source being voted on is sufficient to build the relevant
binary.

Separate votes will be held on other convenience binaries, including
installers. Those will be dependent on this vote passing.

This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and
-1 as usual. (Please justify -1)

Please mark your vote with (binding) only if you're an Apache NetBeans
PMC member to help with voting admin.

Only respond if you are going to vote, i.e., this is NOT a discussion
thread.

Apache NetBeans <VERSION> will be released if and when this vote passes.
