Java EE 8 is not specifically tied to JDK 8. The only reason why that is a barrier right now is because of the container support. If a container vendor, such as Payara, compiles and makes Java EE 8 libraries available under a newer JDK then it should work. Therefore, Payara 5.192 supports JDK 11, so we should be able to run Apache NetBeans on JDK 11 and compile/deploy Java EE 8 applications (via JDK 11) to this container. I believe other containers are also planning to support JDK 11.
Please see the blog post from Arjan for more details on Payara JDK 11 support: https://blog.payara.fish/whats-new-in-payara-platform-192 Thanks Josh Juneau juneau...@gmail.com http://jj-blogger.blogspot.com https://www.apress.com/us/search?query=Juneau <https://www.apress.com/index.php/author/author/view/id/1866> On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 6:52 AM Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> wrote: > Yes, this is something I'm not clear about -- isn't Java EE 8 tied to JDK > 8?
