Stirring the hornet's nest! :-)  For better or worse, that was
explicitly rejected some time ago.  (which is not to say it couldn't
be reconsidered).

It already does, but possibly not in the way you mean.  There is an
issue that nb-javac isn't prepared until after the JDK has a final
release.  So, nb-javac for JDK 17 should land around Oct 1st in time
for 12.6 freeze in mid-Oct.

In my opinion, before nb-javac gets included in the IDE by default,
its long term sustainability and that delay needs to be addressed, as
well as the ability to work with an EA of the next JDK.

Best wishes,
