How do you plan to backport the latest javac while also including support for removed older targets? Add all the removed code back in? Or are we talking different versions of nb-javac for compiling the IDE than used in editor support? I don't see much issue with requiring older JDKs to compile older NetBeans personally - it's probably less likely to break than assuming the old compiler code runs correctly on JDK 33+ ...
