hi
see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetBeans_7.3 (should be update)
problem(s):
- latest NB releases use some libraries available in java8 e.g.
https://github.com/furosys/nashorn
Nashorn for Java 7
https://bitbucket.org/ramonza/nashorn-backport (used by
NB)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005932
- eclipse integration, i/we haven't no intentions to use eclipse libraries (e.
g. eclipse jgit)
- some libraries was updates, and others should be adapted for latest
release
7.4
for now porting of NB is stopped
regards
gil
