R: Re: Discontinued Packing of NetBeans IDE

[PUNTOGIL at libero.it]

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)
  if users was use thesefeatures should/must use eclipse ide
- some libraries was updates, and others should be adapted for latest release 
7.4

for now porting of NB is stopped
regards
gil
