RoboVM 2.3.10-SNAPSHOT, experimental build

@Tomski made first 2.3.10-SNAPSHOT build today. It artifacs deployed to sonatatype. Idea snapshot plugin is available for download.

PLEASE NOTE:

• IMPORTANT: Idea plugin is now a .zip file and Safari will unpack it (by default) which will make it not functional. It has to be downloaded as .zip file and installed using .zip file, not with .jar file inside zip/unpacked folder.
• At moment of writing latest release is 2.3.8 and latest snapshot is 2.3.9-SNAPSHOT.
• 2.3.10-SNAPSHOT is experimental as contains many introduced changes in compier/api/bindings which were not deeply tested. While 2.3.9-SNAPSHOT version is being kept for possible hotfixes.
• 2.3.10-SNAPSHOT is build from jdk12 branch and it names might be confusing. It doesn’t deliver JDK12 functionality to RoboVM but was opened to allow RoboVM compiler be running on JDK9+. As result it hosts 2.3.10 version.
