It's a patched version of javac that has long been part of NetBeans, but it wasn't part of the donation (for obvious reasons), so is still LGPL licensed and can't be included. AFAIK, with Java 9+ the standard JDK version of javac has features which make it more usable for editor support, so this can be used instead. Did you get the warning about the signing of nb-javac? This to me seems more of an issue with it that would be good to fix before release. I also need to figure out how the best way to still bundle it in PraxisLIVE, as I don't have the same license restriction - something to look at soon when I move off 8.2 base.
