Based on discussions by Antonio and others in July 2018 on this thread:

...

...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 for Apache NetBeans 10:
    • Stage 1: September 24 – feature freeze
      • To be included in the release:
        • Feature:

...

• • • • • JDK 11 (P1) – done
        • Feature: PHP (P1) – done
        • JavaScript (P2) – done
        • Groovy (P2) – done
        • Translation bundles from 3rd donation, if it makes it in in time – didn't make it in time.
    • Stage 2: October – NetCAT
      • 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.
    • Stage 3: November – release
      • 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
