NB 16 is a bit broken. So better not release with it. Some Gradle stuff i.e. broken and they are working on a hotfix. Did you also check that does the installer need a upgrade? Or maybe doesn't matter if we are not going to release with 16.

Maybe it is released already...

Still safer to stay with nb15? I don't know. You seem to know more so you take the decision 😁

https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/sdk/blob/master/build.gradle#L559 we have this @MeFisto94 magic in-place. I'm in favour of always taking up-to-date NB. Given there is no broken peaces (that we know of). And now if they already released the patch, we will also release with that. So that is ok.

The NB upgrade script was crafted mainly for NB LTS releases which made much sense to stick with. But there are no LTS releases anymore. Still situations like this, it should still deliver :)

The process of upgrading NB is the following:

• Gradle build, the new download URL
• Netbeans 14 harness #366, the harness, haven't changed recently but should always check (instructions: https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/sdk/tree/master/harness-override)
• Upgrade the installer from Netbeans 14 #361, installer, also doesn't always change, just matter of copying the files from the downloaded NB

We should really document this. Although.... again, with Maven, obsolete :)

So something like this: #442
(harness hadn't changed)
