Re: Status of Netbeans Platform?

In my experience the NB Platform is alive and well. True there are areas
where I wish it was more "alive" but on a general level it is quite alive.
It is not that a lot of new features are being introduced but that - to me
- is more a sign of the maturity of the platform than anything else.

As for your example in the bug report:  If you want others to reproduce you
really need to stick to the SSCCE principle (http://sscce.org/). I believe
your example doesn't fulfill the "Small" requirement.

You really need to trim your example to ONLY include source code relevant
for the point you are trying to make. This makes it easier for others to
follow your example, makes it more likely that others will be willing to
invest time in your example, and finally - and perhaps most importantly -
this process may reveal something to yourself that either there isn't a bug
at all or the bug only presents itself under certain scenarios in which
case this will be important information in the bug report.

Finally using Maven guarantees that others reproduce exactly what you are
doing. When using Ant you'll ultimately be dependent on config in each
developer's IDE which may be different.


I hope my comments will help you move forward.
