Having said that, let me also add that I have recently been doing a lot of work on an older Java source code base that dates back to JDK1.8, and the current version of NetBeans (12.6) works great for everything that I'm doing (editing, compiling, debugging ancient Java code, plus working on a platform module). For a college class, you can (and should) just use NetBeans 12.6. I can't think of any reason to go back to 8.2, and that's speaking from experience. You can even use an older JDK for your builds if you really need to.

Is the 8.2 version still available? Ah, I may have misunderstood the question. The link I gave will allow you to download the JDK. You are probably trying to follow https://netbeans.apache.org/download/archive/index.html, which does give an error. Try https://archive.org/details/jdk-8u111-nb-8_2 Peter ________________________________ From: Peter Blemel <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 14, 2022 1:47 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Hello, I'm trying to download 'JDK 8u111 with NetBeans 8.2' to use for my college class but its giving me an error.

Clicking on one will ask you to sign in (I have not tried, I just found the link for you). There may be other sites.
