Re: Cannot build NetBeans from source

The README describes how to build NB from the console - I don't wantthat. If I cannot use an IDE for building, I could just use a texteditor. BTW, memory is not a problem on my system - 4GB should besufficient for NB, otherwise I could increase -Xmx.

There is nothing in the README about nbjdk.home. Please follow the
instructions in the README:

Conditions are all met, simply the build file for applemenu module does
not respect the settings for nbjdk.home. My best bet will be just to
remove the module from cluster.properties file. However, the build file
should be fixed, probably ...

Hello,

cannot build NetBeans from source:
- using git sources/master branch from
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans.git
- using NB10 with java-11-openjdk on Arch Linux
- ~/incubator-netbeans/nbbuild/user.build.properties contains
nbjdk.home=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-8-openjdk


The problem cause is probably direct use of <javac ...> in the applemenu
module's build script, as I get the following error messages:

/home/peter/incubator-netbeans/platform/applemenu/src/org/netbeans/modules/applemenu/NbApplicationAdapterJDK9.java:22:

error: cannot find symbol

It seems, the desktop classes are missing because the module does not
respect nbjdk.home setting, so JDK 11 is used instead.

Kind regards

Peter
