Hi Ty,

NetBeans 13 will be the first release where nb-javac 17 its enabled by default. This simplified a lot since NB does no longer have to deal with javac versions <17.

nb-javac is basically no longer optional unless you run on 17+ and know what you are doing (advanced user who is ok of running outside the supported range of JDKs).

I agree that there should be a warning dialog at the very least to notify the user if a particular config (e.g running on JDK 18+) is not supported and maybe explain the options from there. Contributions welcome, would be great to add this to NB 14.


for experiments:
 - start NB on a supported JDK at least once and make sure the java cluster has loaded
 - start on JDK 18+ only if you have nb-javac already uninstalled
 - good luck!

Hi,


After firing Netbeans 13 up on an in-dev JDK build I was immediately hit with errors due to nb-javac and Java 19. It would have been nice if I was prompted first as a user as to whether I wanted to use it.


Removing nb-javac caused more havoc. Upon restart, Netbeans closed any project that wasn't a parent Maven project, didn't let me open or right click any project, and the notifications table was white(not respecting L&F like rest of IDE).


Strangely, exiting the IDE, switching to a slightly older JDK 18 build, and relaunching seems to have fixed all of the issues. Even *after* switching back to 19.
