Now we are "going in circles"! ;-) There are two currently listed LSP Java options - one uses Eclipse, the other *is currently built on* nb-javac. So, moving to LSP might not really solve this problem. Geertjan, I was under the impression that the vanilla javac option that Jan was working on wasn't as full featured as with nb-javac? If we can work with the upstream JDK compiler and retain the same features, then lets aim for that! I agree that we need a short-term solution, but we also need to know how this is going to be maintained longer term if it needs to be, and our thoughts on where we're aiming might influence our short term choice. My point was that there seem to be other users of nb-javac out there. We could look to convince OpenJDK that therefore these features are needed by more people than just us, or look to build an external project that brings together that wider user base in maintaining it (so it's not just Apache NetBeans people involved). 2c Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist & Technologist www.neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org
