...the proposal is to have a NetBeans release 4 times per year, starting with August 2018:

2018

• August 2018: Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 – released (end of July)
  
  
  • JDK 9 and 10 support
    
    
• November 2018: proposal – https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/98e604268738d3f10f8dfae48d662fe468e8cdf847395ef5b3614dc4@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E
  
  
  • Rough schedule proposal:
    • September
      • To be included in the release:
        • Feature: JDK 11 (September 2018) (P1)
        • PHP (P1)
        • JavaScript (P2)
        • Java EE (P3)
        • Translation bundles from 3rd donation, if it makes it in in time
      • Feature freeze: September 24
    • October 1 
      • create vote candidate 1 (because each vote candidate is about two weeks)
      • include testing, e.g., NetCAT, on JDK 11 (to be released 25 September)
      • focus on producing the release throughout October.
    • November 1
      • release of sources and convenience binary (P1)
      • site updates (P1)
      • installers (P3), also the question is how to distribute installers, since from Apache we distribute sources and convenience binary only
      • Note: a November release does not necessarily mean releasing 1 November, so we have 4 weeks here to play with
