Issues
Items that have come up during the rc1 vote, which should not be blockers for rc1, but should be resolved in one way or another before the final release of 9.0:
- Can't open Java modular (JPMS) projects –
- Splash Screen – discussion has taken place on Twitter, various possibilities there, need to finalize ASAP:
- Updating spec versions and update centers for release 9.0 – https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/553
- Rebranded startup page – probably not actually needed for 9.0 final release, unless it can be done quickly while maintaining quality.
