+1 Using Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 Compiled as directed with Java 1.8.0_172 taking 26 minutes Numerous warnings related to deprecated methods and lack of use of generics but build was successful. Reviewed all text files and verified the key (learned how to do it with PowerShell) My unofficial testing by compiling and executing my student sample code and the CalendarFX library was successful. Only annoyance, the text in the splash screen image could be larger.
Curious to know why nb-javac is required? Was it always a part of NetBeans and only just removed? Never asked for this when installing 8.2. Why is it not required for Java 9? As I tweeted, I'm happy to now have it available to my students when classes begin in late August. Subjectively it feels faster than 8.2 especially when it starts up with 48 Maven based projects it must scan through. Will conduct time trials for my amusement. Ken Fogel
