I have data on the Snap releases.
I know it is highly non representative and due to the auto update nature
of Snaps it is really in favor of latest stable so:
Rounding on hundreds: out of 33600 installs 32800 is using NetBeans 16,
200 NetBeans 15, 200 NetBeans 17-rc2, 200 NetBeans 12.0 and the rest are
just fragments.

Yes, the sooner we can update what was agreed for NB13, the better.
But that requires notice (so not NB17, and possibly not NB18), a new
lazy consensus proposal, and no vetoes!
Let's talk some more about JDK 8 ... and JDK 11 for that matter! :-)
Maybe somewhat off topic, but
Is there any data on the distribution of NetBeans versions in use?
In particular I'm wondering about how to set minimum supported
NetBeans version for plugin
-ernie
While the immediate NB17 issue was resolved, but given comments in
other threads more recently, it would be good not to let the
discussion on when and how to drop the rest of our JDK 8 support. In
particular with JDK 21 (the next LTS) already on the horizon later
this year.
In the past I believe NetBeans supported current and previous Java
releases? Now might be the time to consider what our long term plan
with the new JDK release schedule should be too. Previously we've
discussed LTS-1, LTS and current as perhaps the limit of our capacity,
for both maintaining and testing infrastructure?
Firstly, do we look to move to JDK 11 as the baseline release for
compilation, and running of all modules from NetBeans 19 (Aug 2023)?
That allows us to advertise the NetBeans 18 platform as the last
release that will support JDK 8, as well as give us time to look at
remaining problems with tests?
Secondly, should we at the same time advertise a plan for future JDK
support so that IDE and platform users have something concrete to work
with? This could be based on LTS-1, LTS and current. We could take
the release of JDK 22, when JDK 21 stops being "current", as the point
where we drop support for JDK 11. That would have NetBeans 22 (May
2024) requiring JDK 17 for build and run.
We have required JDK 11 for build some time before dropping JDK 8
support. Do we go back to min JDK for build and run being the same
again, moving build and run min JDK 17 at the same time, or staggered?
Thoughts? Concerns? Alternatives?
Best wishes,
Neil
