OK, seeing the overall desire to run NetBeans with "new enough and similar enough" JDK javac, I am going to focus on the automatic transformation of nb- javac, but I am not going to propose changes to the way we deliver nb-javac to users. Let such change be some future project's decision. > I'm also hoping if/when we do include nb-javac by default, it will > never again be a cause of release delays! :-) Of course. Generating new nb-javac binary shall be matter of changing few lines of code and pressing the build button. -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
