In which case, I respectfully disagree. At least until we stop telling people on JIRA and on this list to try working without nb-javac to work around issues. There are a bunch of reasons why end users are choosing not to use nb-javac now.

I would have -1'd for inclusion now anyway, because I don't think 3 days is enough time to resolve the issues mentioned. Please don't close on my account. I actually think we should merge this after the 12.6 freeze on Friday, and address the issues it raises in good time for 13.
