Not sure I am clear with what your saying. I think I am at that point with my Netbeans 9 from source on Java/jDK 9, not using ant, etc. I have mostly working IDE less javac features. Which basically cripples most function, no syntax highlighting for any language, etc. > --when running on JDK 8, there will be a notification/popup/dialog > that the Java features are disabled and that the IDE either needs to > run on JDK 9 or later, or the additional nb-javac module must be > installed (the latter being preferred, a "link" to perform the action > included) --when running on JDK 9, show (once?) a notification/popup > that the IDE's behavior may improve by installing the additional > nb-javac module. -critical problems with the jdk-javac branch that we > find should be fixed -a pull request to merge the jdk-javac branch > into master will be sent Not sure what you mean here. The nb-javac presently has build and likely run issues with Java 9. As does its dependent lib.nbjavac. Which is where I ran into my first Java 9 issue. With a class being private now that was public, causing access issues. That is not resolved with using --release 8. Not sure if built under 8 if it would run under 9 or not. I may need to test that out. Specifically LazyDocCommentTable.Entry is private now https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/lib.nbjavac/src/org/netbeans/lib/nbjavac/services/PartialReparser.java#L78 https://github.com/dmlloyd/openjdk/blob/jdk10/master/src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/parser/LazyDocCommentTable.java#L46 That is the only error with lib.nbjavac under JDK 9. However nbjavac itself has a number of similar issues. I am not sure how many of those can be addressed yet till I get lib.nbjavac packaged. Since its a dependency of nbjavac. Seems like nbjavac has similar access issues. Thus far without those. Seems you have no syntax highlight support for any language. No project UI from main menu. Many other things are missing, No Java platforms, and other stuff. I could be missing other modules, but seems those are core for a lot of functionality. I have packaged a fair amount of stuff not showing up yet. Not sure what will and will not work without nbjavac. Seems like its pretty crippled as an IDE but works for platform. I can provide screenshots if needed. I have packaged most project and other missing UIs. Thus I can only assume they do not appear because of the lack of lib.nbjavac and nbjavac. Maybe other editor stuff relating to those, java.source.base, etc. I do have a working editor, and all editor packages. But no syntax for other things like Cmake. I installed a plugin for such. I open cmake files and no syntax support. http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-5a319216b938f9.23966260.jpg Seems the java stuff is core to projects of any type and syntax support for any language. Though I could be wrong, hopefully I am, otherwise must resolve java 9 issues before I can proceed any further. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
