Re: [rcp][platform] Moving UI application based on Netbeans RCP 6.9.1 to 9.0 ?

2018-10-19 Thread Emilian Bold
The RCP is still supported and will be. I don't think 9.0 versus 10.0 will matter in terms of RCP, so if you have to pick something, go with the latest version. Backporting stuff for 6.9.1 might be an option depending how expensive the migration is going to be, but I think there's value in the mig

Thanks Eirik! That definitely seems like a promising path to take. Also thanks for the script you attached to the jira ticket, it should be a big help! > On 19 Oct 2018, at 15:55, Eirik Bakke wrote: > >> That is - the Netbeans Platform code itself needs first to be built (using >> "regular"
