Description tomwheeler 2007-05-18 16:45:13 UTC 
There is no link to download the ZIP file containing the IDE binary, Javadoc or
source for NetBeans 6.0 milestones.   They should be available directly from the
download page here:

   http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/dev.php

as they always have been.  I do not need or want an installer package for the
IDE, I just want to be able to download the plain ZIP file for the IDE binary,
source code and Javadoc for any release.  This is necessary for developing
applications using the IDE as a platform and it is an impediment that they are
no longer available.

See also issue #102386.
Comment 1 tomwheeler 2007-07-31 23:22:30 UTC 
This is still a problem.  I cannot build from source, so I still cannot build Javadoc.  When will these be made
available again?
Comment 2 tomwheeler 2007-08-03 16:07:02 UTC 
As discussed on the dev@openide list in the past three days, it's not even possible to build javadoc on your own for the
M10 branch.  If this issue had been addressed earlier, then the build problem that prevents javadoc from being built
would have likely been fixed before the milestone went out in the first place.

So in case my previous explanation was not clear, here is the problem.  One can no longer download a ZIP file of javadoc
from netbeans.org to use in platform development.  One can also not build javadoc because the build is broken WRT
javadoc, at least in the M10 branch.  How then are we supposed to get the javadoc to use for platform development?
Comment 3 rbalada 2007-08-06 16:28:49 UTC 
Javadoc builds are now available. Fixed in nightly build #200708030000
http://bits.nbextras.org/netbeans/6.0/nightly/200708030000/zip/

Please note that team around the nbbuild module does care about infrastructure to build and publish javadoc. We usually
do not care about content issues causing javadoc build failures. Content issue is the most frequent cause for javadoc
unavailability and usually introduced by a developer changing javadoc content. This is true also for M10. Should you
need any further discussion on this topic, do not hesitate to start new thread i.e. on nbdev@netbeans.org mailing list.

Thanks so much for fixing this, Rudolf.  If you're ever in St. Louis, dinner is on me :-)

I actually just reported the state. I suppose credits go to Jesse (jglick).

Did I fix something? I guess it was by accident!
