Hi,
Yes, exactly: we need two solutions for the same problem: a short term
one to launch but a long term one too.
I think I read somewhere that the Language Server Protocol had problems
with refactoring. I'm not sure about this, though.
From my point of view the NetBeans IDE should embrace the LSP sooner or
later. I don't think LSP is just a fashion, and I think it's going to
stay. Taking advantage of any third-party LSP tools would be great.
Finally, I don't know if LSP is comparable to nb-javac, nor if they're
incompatible. I'll have to dig deeper into nb-javac to understand to
what extent is integrated into the NetBeans IDE, what it does and how it
works. Any pointers on this, anyone?
Cheers,
Antonio

What we want, is not so relevant, unfortunately. And asking anyone anything
is a question of months, which we don’t have. Wider needs, great, let’s
work on those.
In the meantime, what’s the best approach? Maybe putting these two nb-javac
JARs on bitbucket and explicitly informing the user during installation via
the installer wizard for agreement on theibeing downloaded and placed in
the correct locations locally?

Another aspect is from where to download the library: I assume we would
need a reasonably stable place to which we could point the users.
Are there any opinions on this?
As before when this came up, as well as where it's downloaded from, I'd be
interested to know how it's going to be maintained there? It feels hard to
answer one question without the other?
I also still wonder whether there's been further thought on asking the
OpenJDK project to host it (as ide-javac)? The last time I suggested that
there was a feeling that it was too NetBeans specific, and other projects
were moving to things like Language Server Protocol. Just for the record
(as I mentioned to Jaroslav a while back) of the two LSP plugins for Java,
one is Eclipse based, and the other is using nb-javac. There is obviously a
wider need for the features it brings!
Best wishes,
Neil
