Hi Brad,
as Matthias said NetBeans requires at least JDK 11 for the build. In
java you generally avoid swapping out the compiler since you can simply
swap out the whole JDK - but I suppose that is what you meant by compiler.
The easiest way to achieve this is to make sure that only one JDK is on
the PATH - or that the JDK you are interested in is in front of the PATH.
A simple script should do the trick:
export JAVA_HOME=/home/mbien/dev/java/jdk-19.0.2.7.1-corretto
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
# or like Matthias suggested via your home directory - I want my clones
to be self contained though when i test PRs, so I set it locally
echo nbjdk.home=$JAVA_HOME > nbbuild/user.build.properties
ant clean -q
ant build-nozip -Dcluster.config=full
there are also lots of tools which can manage java on the path, for
example I could simply type
$ archlinux-java set java-19-openjdk
and the linux distribution does the rest. There is also sdkman and
probably dozens more.
best regards,
michael

I can't figure out what options to use so that doing a build with Ant
compiles with a different compiler. I've looked all over the web page and
can't seem to find it there.
So 2 questions:
1 - Does compiling Netbeans out of the box continue to Java 8 as the
compiler?
2 - What option would I pass to Ant in order for it to use a different
compiler?
