I know! :-) However, unfortunately there are a few edge cases in release-related tasks, not to mention tests right now, that make dropping the ability to build on JDK 8 a little problematic. I was hoping to get something in NetBeans 13 that requires --release 11, but that will have to wait until 14 now. Too close to branch anyway. > Our tests shall continue to run on JDK-8.

JDK 8 was where required and infrastructure can handle it. That might mean moving some identified testing to a daily thing, manual trigger or path based triggers. There are ASF resource limitations to consider across GitHub, Travis and Jenkins here. > The ideal setup is shown at > https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/.github/workflows/ensure-jdk8.yml Yes, I've seen, and thanks for that. Although there are other potential ways to do this I'm exploring too. I started looking at updating testing, but waylaid by other things. Hopefully between 13-rc1 and 13-rc2 we can get some additional changes in, in case there's anything to pick up before release. > E.g. build with JDK-11, but test on JDK-8.

Which I guess we have if we did something like org.openide.util.enumerations and leave the jar empty. May even be benefits in the short term to taking that approach.
