It is also being said that "The IDE will continue to support users developing projects for/with JDK 8, for as long as nb-javac and other dependencies allow." . I think the team would understand if we keep our Gradle Tooling library on JDK8 level for the foreseeable future.
Correction: I am not advocating that NetBeans IDE supports JDK8 target for the compilation - that I assumed for granted from the previous discussion.
I am advocating not to drop JDK8 as runtime for NetBeans (extended) Platform, as that decision affects NetBeans-based applications. Microchip IDE, that mining analytic stuff we had presentation a long time ago (but that still IMHO lives), and possibly others.
Changing the _runtime_ requirements for NetBeans platform affects application builders - they are often being forgotten in discussions.
Maintenance releases running on JDK8 are not possible, if the core parts of NetBeans start to extensively use JDK11+ APIs 'just for joy from the new'.
