Evaluation of all potential release blockers

...

• Performance
• ok
• Plugins are not available (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)
• Just performance issues and slow to release, yest no support for CSS Grid
• cannot download nb-javac library, (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-nb-javac-in.)
• Can you please add support for more PHP Frameworks e.g. Laravel, Blade etc.
• Modern code does not soley rely on Java only code.  Support for non-Java code, builds and languages is lacking.  I cannot say 9 is comparable if it only performs with 85% of my code base.  (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)

• Jira
  server ASF JIRA serverId 5aa69414-a9e9-3523-82ec-879b028fb15b key NETBEANS-953

• Java 9+ features seem half baked. Modules can't be renamed or deleted in Netbeans but can be modified out of IDE. There is no way to easily convert classpath to modular project structure despite being easy to do by hand(at least on smaller projects).
• I use ctrl+click on xhtml, jsf pages which is broken.

• no php/js supportsupport  (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)
• The lack of some features as JavaHelp for RCP modules. (See https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a3c047a068bd7f99a3c515cd89e2a72645965ae799c3be5a8b9739f0@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E.)

Performance

Can you compare Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 and NetBeans IDE 8.2 in terms of Performance?

Comments:

• No

• No specific issue - overall performance is not as good as with 8.2

• No

• It is very slow in loading

• Nine is much slower.  Slowness seems to be evident with Gradle projects and loading of most projects after Netbeans has begun.

• I don't know
