Added as test case 2 in the new section 21, 'Java Language Preview Features', of the above Java Editor test spec. Impacted NetCAT test spec: Java Editor, cloned to 12.0: Task to be added to test spec: Run 12.0 on JDK 13 or later, make sure to uninstall nb-javac if installed, create a Maven application and enable preview features (explain how), verify that the syntax colouring for switch expressions is correct by creating the code above, copy/paste from the test spec, and then seeing that the colors are like the above, not broken, no error markings. JEP 354: Switch Expressions (Preview Feature), as shown below.Added as test case 1 in the new section 21, 'Java Language Preview Features', of the above Java Editor test spec. The syntax coloring should be not broken and the Navigator should show equals, hashCode, toString, x, y, etc. Public class Foo Impacted NetCAT test spec: Java Editor, cloned to 12.0: Task to be added to test spec: Run 12.0 on JDK 14, make sure to uninstall nb-javac if installed, create a Maven application and enable preview features (explain how), and create a class like the above, copy/pasted from the test spec. JEP 359: Records (Preview), syntax coloring, Navigator support, and formatting of the new Java Records.Enhancement to the installer enables subsets of Apache NetBeans to be installed (from 11.2).Because the below are new, new tasks or updated tasks need to be provided to the related test specs: Start up experience New Features and Enhancements – and Impact on NetCAT 12.0.īeing aware of the below is important when reviewing the test specs. CVS/Subversion etc, i.e., anything not Git (and maybe Mercurial).In contrast to the above, some examples of areas to deprioritize (and if anyone disagrees, they are very welcome to focus on these areas themselves):

PHP – focus on the newest PHP language features.Gradle (no test spec for this yet, since this is a new feature).Java – prioritize new Java language features.Start up experience (new spec to be created that covers the Installer, including installing subsets, e.g., PHP only, start up experience, performance, etc, first impressions).Focus areas of qualitative consolidation in NetCAT 12.0. The program through which qualitative consolidation takes place for 12.0 is NetCAT 12.0. 12.0 is primarily a consolidation of the minor releases 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3. There is as little innovation as possible in 12.0 and as much qualitative solidifying of existing features and functionality.
