Microchip IDE, that mining analytic stuff we had presentation a long
time ago (but that still IMHO lives), and possibly others.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's the first example of software that could
potentially run into problems.
Why can't we drop JDK 8 support but delay any actual code changes that
require JDK 11 for one or two more releases?
we actually did this during 12.x already. If you look at the readme or
download page you will see the requirement is already JDK 11.
for example the DL page for NB 13 which was 5 releases ago:
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb13/nb13.html
-mbien
If we receive a dozen or more issues due to the decision, we can
quickly revert with an interim update. If we hear nothing, then
perhaps the number of software developers who require both the newest
NetBeans Platform and the oldest JDK LTS is zero.
