Yes, as always, pretty spot on! > frgaal: compiler candy without new API, is just like alcohol-free beer. :-) Yes. Very much seems like a solution looking for a problem to me. I'm not sure that comment was much in favour of ecj support as against pushing frgaal as a good option for anything but very niche cases. It's rare a PR gets -1, let only multiple, so I don't think it's fair to call those opinions short-sighted. There are some good points raised in the PR description, but no mention of frgaal there. A better discussion would be on those points than ecj support. Personally I think promoting the latest java(c) features is better done by ensuring the IDE supports the latest JDK as best we can; as Eric suggested, enhancing the templates to take more account of running / target platform (eg. choose platform as first step?); and (from a somewhat biased position) promoting installers that run NetBeans on a local, latest supported, JDK out of the box.
