OpenBeans IDE - Creating an Apache NetBeans Distribution

UD2.119
Emilian Bold
A talk about how OpenBeans, an Apache NetBeans IDE distribution was possible due to pkgsrc, the NetBSD package management framework.
OpenBeans IDE started in Nov 2018 under the name CoolBeans. This was an Apache NetBeans IDE 'distribution' which repackaged the Apache NetBeans modules, plus some other modules that were still not available yet (such as the C/C++ support modules, JavaEE modules, native notifications on macOS/Windows, etc). CoolBeans was open sourced under the plain ISC license under the OpenBeans name. OpenBeans produces Windows installers as well as macOS disk images for end users. It does this using pkgsrc from NetBSD, which seems to be a very good match for distribution-like projects.

The Java platform experiences an outburst of cool new features – recently, local variable type inference, switch enhancements and multi-line string literals have been added to the Java language. Many other features are being in the pipeline and are actively worked on, like simple data carriers and pattern matching for the Java language, or value classes for the Java virtual machine. These features are delivered quickly, thanks to the recently adopted, predictable, six-months schedule of major ...

In this session, we will explore how the Language Server Protocol, LSP, is used to aid developers. We will cover not only the Java language, but also other languages, especially those supported by the GraalVM, like JavaScript, R, Python, Ruby. This includes development in various IDEs and editors, for example the NetBeans IDE and VisualStudio Code.
