Jaroslav Tulach commented on NETBEANS-5339:
-------------------------------------------
There is an attempt to reuse profiles support for releases:
[https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2786] - however it is far from being
finished.
> Let's NetBeans Java Support work with --release X flag
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-5339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5339
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java - Source
> Affects Versions: 12.0
> Reporter: Jaroslav Tulach
> Assignee: Jan Lahoda
> Priority: Critical
>
> Since JDK9 there is {{-release}} flag which can specify which JDK API one
> wishes to compile against. Time to use it in NetBeans!
> Historically NetBeans Java support tries to detect a JDK one is running on
> and decrease the requested {{--source}} level to the supported JDK. This is
> very annoying and in the context of {{--release}} flag, unnecessary.
> Modern {{javac}} compiler have snapshot JDK API for each version since JDK7
> to the latest JDK. Regardless on which version the NetBeans IDE is running,
> people should be able to select the right release/target JDK and get errors
> according to its API.
> By default a specified {{--source}} (by a SourceVersionQuery) should also
> imply appropriate {{--release}}. There might be other means how to control
> both source as well as release.
