Hello,
this thread discusses _how_ step 3) should be implemented
1) remove SM flag from launcher and release new launcher bits
2) move flag to start config and switch to new launcher bits
3) implement SM removal for JDK 24 compatibility
we have two proposals
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3386 (reimplement parts using a
new JVM agent layer)
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/7928 (remove SM layer entirely)
I won't paste the PR texts here since this would make this mail very
long, but please read through both PRs and make sure you are also up to
date on JEP 486.
What I will note though is that I am running NetBeans since version 23
with SM disabled and didn't experience any issues so far or even can
tell a difference. (I believe Neil did also test it at some point after
discussions on apache slack).
I will also always push for the solution which makes maintenance easier
over the long term - this typically is the less complex solution. So
even though I do _like_ the agent proposal from a technical perspective
since it shows how powerful JVM agents can be, I don't think we should
add this additional layer to everything and maintain a custom bytecode
interceptor/transformer too. (for why I believe that we can likely get
rid of the SM layer without a replacement, please read the PR text)
best regards,
michael
